im using roxul afb,3in. insulation for 2x4 framing, my studs are 16 in. from the center of each stud( 15 in. between studs) . therefore, when i put in the 16 inch wide insulation, i have to stuff about an inch in, is this good or should i cut the insulation?

You might want to post this question in the Studio Construction forum. This forum is more for electronics, electrical and facility wiring so it might not get seen by the right people to answer it.
