Hi, Ron. Could you provide some documentation on this? Other folks who
have compressed the blocks find the opposite to be true, that
insulative value per square inch (aka R Value) goes UP once the PC is
compressed. I know this seems counter intuitive, but that is what
testing has shown so far. What tests did you use to arrive at your
figures?
I don't disagree that for a given size block compressing means more
paper, but given the amount of waste paper out there I just don't see
that as an issue for myself.
