Question:

reflectix or other reflective aluminum/bubble wrap type boat insulator?

I have heard rumors online, I cant find anything concrete about the use of reflectix or a similar product to insulate the inside of your hull to prepare for the winter months (or summer as well)Has anyone used anything like this and have the product name, tips on installing, pictures, etc? Thanks

Answer:

For the last seven years I've had 1 to 1 1/2 inches of urethane foam as insulation in my boat about half is covered with a fiberglass panelingThe balance is exposed Last year a friend and I bought two rolls of bubble wrap made with Alumfoil at Lowe's We put it under the overhead paneling in his boat , and else where, where it was exposed I used some to insulate over my windows, and the hull in the v-birthIt was effective, but more so this summer in the hot sun than last winterI think the urethane is more effective year round Here the key is it cuts heating bills by 30-40% with foil, and 70-80% with urethaneI'm now trying to put a wood veneer over the foam for appearances, and add more in areas that have none.
Because you like it mainlyI never got people who try to stomach foods they dislike merely cause its healthy for them, if you don't like a food/tea skip the health benefits just eat something else to cover it.
In many fruits and vegies, the highest quantity of nutrients lies just below the skinPeel the skin off and you lose a lot of the goodness.
