Shop Roxul 12-Pack 47-in L x 15-1/4-in W x 3-1/2-in D 15-R Stone Wool Insulation Batts at Lowes.com
Two of those should be enough, although one issue that we have not addressed is putting 3 1/2" insulation on the back of a garage door--all of the kits have 2" insulation!
Since this cuts with a bread knife, I could lay down 2x2s and saw it in half. It may stay in place with tension, but walls are not supposed to move, and you always cover them with drywall or something, so how would I mount this?
I keep thinking "Coroplast!"
Would the vinyl tape that I linked before work better than duct tape?
I am not too worried about getting the exact amount, being just a little short and wasting most of a package for a small area would be frustrating, but one thing that I have not mentioned is that they have a wall and a half without insulation! I imagine that some would argue that I should do that first, and certainly, an insulated wall would do more than an insulated door, but that would be a bigger and more expensive project, especially since I would be covering it with plywood, or perhaps pegboard.
