I want to wedge some rockwool insulation between some joists that are only around one foot apart. The rockwool is on wide rolls, (paper backed on one side) and will need cutting. What is the best tool for the job? Knife, scissors, timber saw? Other? Someone said it is better to cut the stuff while it is still rolled up - any tips?
From experience when I take the wrapper off the roll it explodes like a coiled up spring, unrolling and puffing out very fat. I've never had to cut it before though.
