Could be mistaken, but I think there was a discussion here a while back that
this stuff is not as effective as claimed. Perhaps the argument was that
radiant heat is only part of the equation.

For my part, I intend to use the radiant barrier stuff closest to the
fiberglass, then put a layer of styrofoam insulation board with its own
aluminum coating. I've only got about 3/4 of an inch that I can insulate,
but I figure that this will give me the best I can get.

Yeah, but watch the static electricity. You wouldn't believe how much can
build up.

Interesting point. I guess I could hook it up to a capacitor and make some
use or other of it...

I just about jumped high enough to hit the top of garage when I got
zapped... nasty. After the first few zaps, I finally learned my lesson,
lesson, lesson. :-)

I suppose a more reasonable solution would be to run a ground wire to the
foil insulation material, eh? But I sure hate to see spare amps go to
waste... :-)
