When you are basically making a box with .120 wall material it isn't too hard to control temperature. Now sheet metal on the other hand. No matter what you do it still needs hammer and dolly to get flat. Huge difference between frames and sheetmetal.

Try it and you will see.

They tac every 3" the fill between and alternate locations.
