Errr... Boing boing?
And boing again...
Do you guys think I'd be better of with the big superchunk on the top right of the plan as in version 1 or with a smaller superchunk and hangers as in version 2
?To be honest, of those two options I'd go with the plain old superchunk. A "mini-superchunk" stuck right in the corner doesn't make much sense. With a suprchunk, it's not the part in the corner that does most of the work, but the front face. Insulation is a velocity-based device, and right up against the surface the velocity is zero or close to zero for all but the most highly grazing waves. So a tiny triangle in the corner isn't going to be very effective as a superchunk. - Stuart -
Stuart, I thank you very much.
