Bet you could make a nice ashtray out of what I carry inside me.

No Bob not kidding residential forced air duct here just almost never. Old steam and water yes almost always but not much steam and or hot water used here 98% all forced air ya know Okla is a gas producer Commercial industrial now that another story. We started with central heat late 40's and early 50's and used the old yellow fiber glass insulation with no outer barrier no central cooling at that time. I still see some of the old duct with no outer barrier installed that has been updated with cooling but nothing done with the insulation
