Has anyone tried dense-packing cellulose insulation in walls using Home Depot/Lowes DIY cellulose blowers ?
I am trying to decide between RockWool R15 batts and dense packing cellulose, and I am not sure whether a stronger blower is needed for cellulose.
Since I opened up the walls, I am closing all possible air leak points using caulk/3M flashing tapes ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D9HB03C/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 ), and fire putty sheets around electrical outlets ( http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/...oldable-putty-pads-mpp-product-data-sheet.pdf ).
I don't want to use spray foam. First, it burns easily. Second, closed cell foam is not a good sound isolation material wrt other options.
