I had a guy make me the simple kappa perfect build. Where do I buy rock wool to glue to the large brace?

And should I get some feet for the bottom of this cabinet? Anyone have a link to a place that has rock wool or some feet.

Any building supply, lumber yard, etc.
Be careful using it in a vented enclosure. If the fibers become airborne it becomes a health hazard.
You will have to wrap them in something.

What does this stuff even look like? And what do I wrap it in?

Looks like insulation, wrap it in an acoustic transparent material like speaker cloth or anything you can easily blow through.

I suggest a gamma pad. But you can put feet on it as well.

To wrap mineral wool, I use something called (in the UK) batting (or wadding). It's a white soft 'fluffy' material that I believe is often used to stuff upholstery. It's usually available in stores selling textiles & fabrics.

Wouldn't something as simple as an old t-shirt work? Just staple or glue it close...

As long as you can breath through it and it doesn't stink to bad.

I have a ton of new brown t-shirts the army issued me that are just sitting in my dresser drawer. The old stinky ones have been used as cleaning rags.:D
