Viable solution for difficult corners?

Hello!

In my room (13.12ft x 10.5ft x 8.2 ft), there's only one corner that could be treated traditionally. So I figured what if I bought glasswool rolls, and just put those in a corner, floor to ceiling.

However, three questions about this approach and material used (http://www.ursa.be/_files/TFURSAhometec.pdf.pdf):

1. The plastic that is wrapped around the glasswool, will it allow enough to go through to make this usefull, or does it have to go off?

2. Is it better to have them spaced away, or just push them all the way into the corner?

3. Seeing how one roll has a diameter of ~ 1.5ft, will the material's mass which according to the pdf is 22-24 kg/m3, be enough for good bass trapping, or is this pretty much useless? (i hope not cause I already spent the money, ~ $95 / roll )

Btw. the glasswool is 10 cm (0.32 ft) thick, but it's heavily compressed while wrapped.
One roll has about 19.7 ft x 3.9 ft of glasswool, so quite a lot.

Thanks for any input!
