That thin radiant barrier/insulation stuff
 
Thin aluminum and -as I recall - bubble wrap? Or maybe it was a closed
cell foam and aluminum?


Find it at Lowes and Home Depot.

Yes, possibly. If you need a lot, it'll be more expensive there by far.

Wouldn't the shipping costs eat up any price differential? The stuff is
lighter than light, but also bulkier than bulky. A roll such as I bought at
Menard's is a cylinder roughly 4 feet by 18 inches or so. UPS would charge
about $50 to ship a 48x18x18 package, weighing 5 pounds, by ground from my
Green Bay area to Los Angeles.

I checked at Lowe's today.

2'x50' for about $27 and 4'x50' for $47.

Hard to beat.

Not bad. I guess I was thinking about the quantity for an entire attic, not
the quantity for a boat. :-)

I recall it was about $150 for 500' x 4/5' foot roll wholesale.
