Had a build session @ Currivan's to build the insulation cap for octavius out of mylar foil

  • Build materials for insulation cap:
    • 324 Amp Premium Foil UL Listed HVAC Tape by Nashua Tape (2.5 in. x 60 yd) * 4 rolls (link to home depot
    • Single Bubble foil insulation (link to ecofoil) * 2 rolls
      • Might be worth going with double sided in the future?

* Building approach:

  • We took 4 widths that stretched the entire octagon end-to-end (with a tape-reenforced hole for where the vertical rod that holds the canvas up), then filled in the gaps between with smaller pieces. This was pretty effective, there is a good bit of overlaps at the top, took approx 3-4 hours.
  • Remaining work
    • The walls need built, and we need a good way to attach the walls to the cap. Several ideas discussed (tape loops, foil loops, tape joins, taping to pole of Octavius).
    • Do we want to do this thursday?

Group discussion during break:
