Thanks for everyone answering questions for my new shop (tools, power, etc)
Turns out my home inspector has a workshop in his 3 car garage. For sound
insulation he mentioned a product called "homasote". I've read up on it and
it sounds to be something I will probably use. He said he cut it to size to fit
between his studs leaving a gap on either side. Then he caulked the space
with some special stuff then filled in the rest with fiberglass insulation then
OSB or drywall over that. He says it really stops the sound from coming in or
going out.
Anyone have experience using it? A few years ago I found some kind of
fiber-y 4x8 sheets that I attached to my garage door for sound deadening.
They weren't labeled as "Homasote" at HD. It seemed to work but it was
hard to cut because all the fibers were cross linked. I ended up scoring it
multiple times with a utility knife and kinda' snapping it like drywall. It didn't
leave a smooth edge. That's really my question, how do you cut it cleanly?
Thanks, Paul
