whats involved in repacking these things. I have a set of supertrapps that are somewhat noisier than is social (askGlen1TRX) and the thort was to try some fibreglass packing to see if I could make them more social

On closer inspection the inner baffle pipe had a layer of steel wool and I found a trace of fibre glass mat , so now I will reuse the steel wool and repack with new fibre glass mat , I have in the past brought matting and rivets from MEGACYCLE in melb when I repacked the other cans I've got , I don't think the steel wool from hardware would last long.

From my recent experience repacking my Wolf cans it makes very little
difference to the "noise". To reduce noise you will probably have to resort to some sort of Decibel killer device. You need to slow the gas down, unfortunately this has some effect on performance.
I used Glass fibre insulation in mine which was similar to the original packing, which tends to get pushed and compacted into the back end of the can.
