I came across a few threads where people had similar issues to this, but didn't really find a definitive enough answer, so hopefully this doesn't seem redundant.

At work we just finished building some new rooms and have quite a bit of left over insulation that we've already payed for:

I believe it's this stuff here.

My question, if you haven't already figured it out, is could we still build useful bass traps by molding as much of our leftover insulation into 2'X4' frames as we can tightly fit?

How much is gained/lost by using this stuff vs. boards of 703?

It'd be much more convenient and cheaper if this stuff would work because when comparing cost it looks like the prices people are quoting for 703 come to about $8 per panel whereas this stuff, even after we run out, would cost about $3.50 per panel and is much easier to get a hold of.
