Owens Corning 403?
Greetings, friends. I'm in the process of completely rebuilding my control room. Looking for Owens Corning 403, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Anybody know of a US retailer? Does it retail under some other name?

hi - fif, first I think you're searching for the wrong thing - you want OC 703, not 403. When I bought mine, I googled for it in my local area and found it for sale by a local construction supply company. I had to drive 45 minutes to pick it up, but it was easier than shipping. well, actually now that I remember, what I did was go to Owens-Corning website and searched for a location in my area that sells it. I had to order it special and wait a week before I could go pick it up, but it was pretty painless. you can also get very similar rockwool - you can usually get that at places like home depot and Lowes.

I remember reading about THIS STUFF as being an alternative to OC 703.

Rock wool is another substitute.

batsbrew don't you want 703? Does anybody really read these threads and follow links? I think the OP is looking elsewhere.

no, i do not have time to read all the comments, only the OP and my reply. sorry if this rubbed you the wrong way. typically, 703 is the magic number for these kinds of requests for information. i was only trying to help. maybe i'll re-think that.

You didn't have time to read, I don't have time to waste. You didn't rub me and I apologize for rubbing you. It won't happen again. Pretty obvious you and me just don't jive and nothing wrong with that. That's just life.

remember, i was just responding to the OP... you on the other hand, felt like you had to respond to me. as i see it, it's your issue, not mine. the order of how things transpire, is often what is telling. but i don't get it. LOL whatever, it just kind of makes me feel like i shouldn't come into threads to try to help, because somebody has some invisible axe to grind, and will make issue of what I say, for no real good reason.

I recommended Rockwool because 703 wasn't available in my city, only by special order. So I bought rockwool, which was the closest thing to it for my purposes, basstraps.

roxul works really really well. cheaper than 703 if you know anybody in the HVAC business or general contractors, hit em up for a dose of rock wool.

Repetition is the key to clarity as they used to tell me when I was in the Air Force.
