Hi everyone,
Weather is starting to change, so I want to get prepared.
Both my colonies are fed.
I never used Kingspan before, but have got 100 mm & 50 mm.
My first colony is in a national over a super.
Do I cut a square to fit inside an eke, above the crown board or just put it sitting on the crown board with roof over ?
My second colony is in a poly nuc, which has a clear film crown board.
I have an eke for this also.
If fondant is needed at any stage, surely this will rise the insulation, so what way is the best way to combat that.
Lastly, when does everyone plan to install insulation?
Do you wait until temp is at a certain level before doing so ?
Thanks in advance.
Sharon
