Without doubt, Acousta-fil is the stuff to use. Paul (907) uses it in his cans and it is by far the best. It will last 10 times longer than fibreglass
as it is a continuous weave rather than lots of fibre fragments compressed together.
It takes a little while to expand into the shape of the can (needs heat to activate it) but it gives a lovely deep, mellow tone.
You buy it from Paul or find it at the shows and to fill a 6" can costs about £20-25 - well worth the money and you will probably never have to
pack it again.
Cheers,
Raz
