I am going over some different designs and trying to see what works best for converting a Wine Cooler/Mini Frige into an incubator. My main goal is keeping the humidity and temp fluxuations to a minimal. Consistancy. I was wondering if buying some 1/2" or 3/4" styrofoam type board insulation and lineing the inside of the cooler/frige would help? Or would this cause it to hold in too much heat and overheat? If it would help then I can line the top, bottom, sides, & back but I got the wine cooler instead of a frige because it has the window door. Its double pained but how would that effect it if its all sides but the window?
