Inquiring minds want to know... tried calling a few "fibreglass" suppliers, none of them seem to know what the hell Owen Corning 703/705 is. If anybody knows any reliable suppliers please post on this thread.

This seems interesting, btw: http://www.owenscorning.com/quietzone/products/products3.asp

Just don't ask me why they've got the goddam Pink Panther plastered all over their products. Bizarre.

Rockwool/Fibreglass can get from those industrial area in Ubi. I don't remember the address already. But I did actually got it from there few years ago. However, you have to order large quantity, if not I don't think they wil sell u. They will use long lorry with crane and send it to your location for you.

When you say large quantity... do you mean enough to cover a room, a house or more? How much stuff did you get from there as you said?

I think Rockwool is a brand name
You will get more choice searching the material iteself
like "ceramic fiber" , "cotton fiber", "natural wool fiber"

I know for ceramic fiber,
it is usually sold in cartons of say "6meters x 1meter x thickness"
varying thickness is available from 1/2 inch to 2 inch .. maybe more
