You could seal along every stud cavity with a foam or caulk then get a blown fiberglass in the stud bays .
thanks for the advice

is it better to do a crossing pattern with one layer of r19 between the joists and another layer of r19 laying on top going across them to get r38, or just go with a single thick r38 bat?
