Anybody know where I can pick up some Roxul Rockboard mineral wool panels in the DC/NoVA area?

The usual big box outlets only have the Roxul batts.

No, but the Amazon pricing doesn't seem too crazy...

You're correct. I went ahead and bought some from Jeff Bozo.

I was thinking "too big for an Amazon package" but maybe nothing is.

I'd like to snag some of that Armstrong Tectum material Perkins was talking about on the Sound list. There's a DC distributor but I would have to actually get dressed and leave the house to buy that.

Ordered one single 1x24x48" rockwool board Sunday on Amazon for $12.99 and it was delivered today!

Grainger was the return address.

H'mm...they might have brisket. Gotta check Amazon Fresh....

Here is another source for 3" boards which some people say is the minimum thickness you should use. They have free shipping on orders over $50.
