Question:

What materials to use to insulate a cardboard box?

I need to get the box to 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit with a 15 watt light bulb (one of those night light ones).The box is 8quot;x12 1/2quot;.

Answer:

Your body is used to all the junk food you've been giving it and is adjusting to the healthier food you've been giving itMy advice is to get a drink (i forget the name sorry!) and it clears you out in a day or two, or Miralax which is a powder you add to a drink which helps constipation.
Drink lots of waterA drastic diet change can affect your digestive system for sureMy hubby swears that fast food is just grease to slide the poo right out of you, loll would just keep at it, your body will adjust, and you'll be back to normal soon.
The food that you are taking do not haave enough roughageTake more fruits that have fibre like oranges, pineapple, veggie with fibre tooYou should also include some carbo for it is needed for good brain activityTake a bit of potato , add aloe vera to your diet to help the bowel movement.
Bubble wrap - the very small bubbles would be better than big bubbles Foam rubber Styrofoam panels, or those peanuts in zip lock bags Sawdust in zip lock bags Material from a blanket Multiple layers of cardboard cut from another box Cork panels, like from a bulletin board or any combination of the above Anything that has a lot of very small air spaces within it could workGood luck EDIT: No, the bubbles should not be poppedThey will insulate far better if the are intactA few popped ones would be OK, but the vast majority should be filledAluminum foil on the innermost surface, with the shiny surface facing the light bulb is a good idea, but the foil by itself will not do muchYou could crumple up a bunch, like you would crumple newspaper, but it will take a lot of foilSeveral layers of cardboard would probably be better, especially with the inside layer covered with foil.
