Have you tried the usual suspects - Lowes, Home Debit?

As I recall Home Despot had this when I was making mine, although I went with frames and pink fiberglass fill instead.

Yes , I looked there and didn't see any . Although I didn't ask . I also checked out Consumers Lumber , which does not carry it , they sent me to an acoustical ceiling tile place . No luck there either . I guess I will have to break out the phone book and let my fingers do the walking . I was just hoping someone may have had a source . Thanks though !!

A quick web search found this...

Insulation sales in Ferndale has really cheap 703. I don't know if they have Mineral wool or not though, but it would be worth making a call, or just going with 703 cuz it works the same anyway.

Insulation Sales does carry the 703 , from 1/2" to 2" . The 2" is $0.95 per square foot , 96 square feet per box or 12 2x4 sheets per box . I really only have need for 6 pieces right now , so if there is anyone who might need some , let me know . ;) I will more than likely head over there later this week .

Thanks again olson for the find . :thmbsp:
