I'd just like to point out that it doesn't just involve hot and cold but also the nature of energy, gas theory, etc.
But thermodynamics is pretty cool.
It's also pretty hot.
That aside, is aerogel viable in your opinion?

If you have some way of getting the super expensive foam type then yes...
Beads are terrible and when wet they are useless.

I've just been using EPS foam. Any comments/concerns?

Do you have any struggles cutting it? Nice R-Value though.
I considered using EPS foam but found a better alternative...

Hmm does it involve any sort of vacuum?

Nope. I had designs made for that but it was way too complex.

I think EPS foam is the way to go.

It's pretty good but there are other products that contain a higher R-value vs the 4.2 of EPS... (And they are easy to acquire
)

Something that's even better.
(But that's also a good option)
