    How many layer of IX?

    So I want to make a DIY TQ and UQ..... my question is how many layers of IX should I use....2? 3? I am not planning on anything below 40 F, but probably an average of 60 F is more reasonable for my purposes.

    So how many layers works for ya'll? And to what temps??
    My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

    3 layers and a cover gets me around the 60s.

    2 layers and cover gets me to 35. For a TQ.

    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen
