[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 327439, member: 437"] I also have an engineering degree and apparently you did not read my initial thread post. While it may not be it's optimal installation, it certainly cuts down convective heat. Because of the shape of my livewell, I would have had to cut rigid insulation into multiple pieces just to pass it through the livewell opening. The radiant insulation can be cut into much larger pieces and rolled or flexed into a small piece to cover much more surface area. XPS may not have a liner but it can certainly be damaged by fish and would be much harder to chip out in little chunks to replace after damage than peeling off an entire sheet. In essence, whatever floats your boat, but the radiant insulation works just as I had intended for my purpose. [/QUOTE]
