    Re: Insulating a Tank

    Yeah I wanted to get the foam board, but the lazy guy at Home Depot wouldnt cut it down for us.... there was no way we were going to fit a 4' x 8' board in a 4-door Saturn And apparently they dont sell smaller pieces...

    Your kidding me! I would have told him to call the MOD and have him cut it down instead...

    Re: Insulating a Tank

    I agree!! That is ridiculous, you should have located the manager on that one. I get that stuff all the time, and the guys at my store have no problem cutting it down for me (since I ride the bus). I would suggest going back and speaking with someone high up if they refuse again.

    And if they give you the excuse that the stuff is flammable (which it is), just reassure them that it's been cut many times before without incident.

    I use rigid insulation since we have it left over from building projects
