I read that Ethan suggested covering an entire ceiling in 703. I have a couple questions on this.

1. What is the most cost effective way to attatch panels of fiberglass to a drywall ceiling? Especially with a 2" air gap?

2. Will 6" Roxul Safe and Sound be a good subtitute for this application?

I was thinking of using the lightweight steel studs and and framing a new ceiling about 8" down, then stuffing in the panels and covering the whole thing with painters drop cloth that I can easily dye.

I would need a ton of steel studs at $6 a peice. Is there a better way to do this?
