Sorry. FSK is a reinforced foil and kraft paper scrim that is bonded to the exposed side of the fiberglass with spray adhesive. It not only helps to reduce the upper mid/high frequency absorbtion but also acts somewhat like a membrane to slightly increase the absorbtion down low. Bryan Bryan is (as...
