Water decreases the overall thermal performance of the insulation, also water may just short circuit around the insulation and render it useless.

Water, if present on dielectric surface, due its high conductivity decreases the surface resistivity of the dielectric, thus causes high creepage current (surface current).

How does the thickness of insulation affect how quickly hot water cools down control variables?

The thickness of insulation affects the rate at which hot water cools down by providing a barrier that prevents heat from escaping quickly. Thicker insulation reduces heat transfer, so hot water will cool down more slowly compared to thinner insulation. By controlling variables such as the initial temperature of the hot water and the ambient temperature of the surroundings, one can isolate the effect of insulation thickness on cooling rate.
