batting between. Later, after I purchased the fiberglass I noticed the rated value of
R-12 and upgraded my estimate to a total of R-20, after I installed the fiberglass
batting and felt, that it would provide the rated protection fully. If you just used a 1"
polystyrene shell, you achieved only 1 fifth of the protection my basjoos got.

So add another shell of 1 inch over my existing cone and stuff it completely with batting and that would do the trick?
