I am not sure where you heard this but the thickness of old putty against the thickness of insulation for r-value is not as good. The best insulator is air. Fiberglass insulation
has a high r-value because of the air it holds not the fiberglass itself. So that's why you don't cram 6in fiberglass into a 4in space, it does not work when you compress it.
