I am getting ready to insulate a supply duct in a basement, so a soffit can be built around it. The drop ceiling soffit was previously installed under the uninsulated duct and there was water damage from condensation. I know I need to insulate the supply duct, but will the return duct sweat also? Also will R4.2 bubble wrap keep that supply duct dry? We live around Philly so the humidity is pretty high. Thanks in advance for any advice. MPROB
