Thanks!

I believe that they are in the rules...
Aerogels, wood, and foam work well. Though this is my first year as well, so don't take my word for it

They are in fact in the rules. Always check the rules!

Anyway, I'm using either EPS or XPS foam (they're similar to Styrofoam).

Temperature between 60 and 75*C? No more scalding my fingers with boiling water for testing!

No more placing my hand on a 100C surface...
Also, way less uncertainty!

They seem like a really good insulation according to you!

Aside from retail stores and online shopping sites, you can probably also find them used in packing. I believe my foam last year came from a foam tray which was no longer in use. But be aware that there are differences between the two and that there are also other options you could try.

Anyone have data they want to compare?

It would vary a lot depending on what you used and how you build your device.

Well yes, that's how you would compare devices.
