Hi Gerry,

Sorry, but I don't know what the exact thickness of it is. I just pulled
all the information from the FAQ and quickly threw it up to the list. The
FAQ did say it was similar, how similar though I don't know.

Perhaps we have some architects/contractors/builders on the list who might
remember the dimensions of this stuff?

Whatever the dimensions are, I'm sure we'd end up with some extras to make
beer bottle/can insulators. Hey, we could slap some V@L stickers on 'em and
start selling 'em! ;-)
