About vapor barriers. It's been beaten to death for decades now. There is an overwhelming body of empirical evidence showing that when cellulose is used a vapor barrier can actually be hazardous.

I agree. I think when using cellulose it is far better to allow it to dry. But I do have a question. Is there an interior paint that allows moisture to penetrate it, so my insulation can dry better?
