[Shop-talk] Basement shop insulation\vapor barrier question ...

>I would also like to put clear plastic on the wall ... But I am worried
about having two vapor barriers ... the Kraft paper and the clear plastic
... and what damage might occur if vapor or anything else gets trapped
between them with no place to go.

You could use a water vapor permeable plastic membrane (Tyvek and cheaper
equivalents) that would still let the walls breath, but keep the flow of air
to a minimum -- basically what it does as a house wrap.
