The trouble is that I already have fiberglass - and it sucks. Actually, I think the AC somehow sucks it in. It's 30 years old, and a lot of it floats as a permanent cloud of dust in the attic. I'd rather have it sealed in nylon bags. And I'd also want to have at least one more layer under the roofing. I figure by the end of this year I may be able to do something about it. The trouble is that any material I found at Lowe's or Home Depot is either fiberglass or flammable.
