Good insulation is essential. Without it the surface of the pipes will run with water condensed out of the air. I used what Keith described as "foam/foil house sheathing (from) Home Depot". It is thin bubble-wrap with a foil skin on each side. To stick foil to pipe, and to itself, I used the very sticky double-sided basting tape marketed for use with acrylic fabrics like Sunbrella.
