Question:

Copper pipes in laundry room are dripping wet. What insulation do you recommend? The more information the better to evaluate here!

Answer:

I've been most successful with the glass fibre pipe wrap stuff that comes in 8' lengths and is only about 4" wide. I cut it up into two and three foot lengths and then use a bit of masking tape every foot or so. Do not wrap it tight but make sure the poly VB-type stabilizer overlaps to keep glass fibre particles from floating in the atmosphere.
