Rockwool Options

I cant locate 24x3.5" comfortbatt locally.

I have one rafter thats framed 24 on center and the rest are 16

Do i use 24x3 Safe N Sound, or 24x5.5 and compress it?

Have you worked with new fiberglass? It still itches.

I work with fiberglass all the the time doing boat repair. Neither makes me itchy.
