Is there anything useful that can be done with them - by which I'm thinking put them into some kind of breathable bag and use as insulation somewhere - or is it the case that in their raw dust form, not compacted, they're not likely to be very useful as insulators?

I imagine I'll be able to use some of the bigger offcuts in some places, just pains me a bit to throw so many of the smaller peices away as they are pretty pricey!

Sheepswool definitely generates a lot less waste from cutting to fit! Couldn't believe how much woodfibre dust the festool generated (and got clogged up with!)

To put the lime/WF mix in context I am probably talking about a spoonful in a bucket-full of WF (if indeed I bother) - maybe 50 or 100-1?

Some use squirty-foam in WF joints. I just feel that if I have (or anyone has) gone to the trouble and expense of using WF it seems a bit 'wrong' to use plastic foam to fill the gaps. Just a personal gut- feeling.]]>
