[Shop-talk] rigid insulation board

[Frank Vantacich]

David you might be on to something, that sure would lessen the amount of prep 
work I would have to do. Eric you're are right about it being flammable and 
should be covered up with something non-flammable, i didn't think about that. 
Doug that would sure take a lot of spray cans but that was excellent suggestion 
I did not know about that product.

Great ideas thanks for the help!!!

   Why not just put the reflective side facing down, and leave it be? That's 
what my father-in-law and I did ( two garages ).  Looks fine for a garage 
ceiling, and even helps with lighting a little.  Throw some aluminum tape on the 
seams and call it done.

   Painting it sounds like a right bitch, to be honest.
