I've used "Reflectix" duct insulation in applications like this. it's essentially bubble wrap with a reflective layer, you can layer it pretty easily to add/subtract from the insulation value. plus is comes in small, cheap rolls
here is a link to the amazon item, but it's in most hardware stores too: http://www.amazon.com/Reflectix-6X25-Foil-Insulation-Lpw0602506/dp/B000BQNYSI/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1325879277&sr=1-5 -Eric On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 11:39 AM, John Ackermann N8UR <j...@febo.com> wrote: > > I am looking for a readily available (from Home Depot or other local source) > insulating material to use in a chassis that's housing a sensitive OCXO.
