One of the things that fiberglass doesn't do is evaporate moisture very
well, which cotton does (else why wear it during the sweaty months of
summer? g). Now I dare say that, although not dangerous in walls, wearing
fiberglass wouldn't provide this benefit to one's body. g PLUS, unlike
fiberglass, which needs to be fluffed to provide the rated R value, blue
jean batting only works better, both in R and STC value when stuffed into a
wall space (layering, don't you know). At least that's what the claim is,
which is why I was asking.

Roger,

Has anyone here thought of or used this product?


I've never bought it or used it in a product, but the manufacturer sent me

a
sample to try. The first thing I did was hold a lighter under it. As soon

as
I saw how it smoldered and smoked, that was all I needed to know it was

not
for me.

The danger of fiberglass is greatly overstated. Yes, you can get a little
itchy working with it, so use gloves and a face mask. Problem solved.
