Sorry if this is tedious, but better to ask the dumb questions now rather than after everything is put together!
We purchased some mineral rockwool recently, and are preparing to mount a ceiling cloud. However, the type we got did not have any FSK facing. From what I've read here, the ideal is to have every other panel have some sort of facing to reflect some of the highs back into the room.
In this case, should we buy FSK tape and tape up the sides of some of the panels, or would standard wrapping aluminum foil do the job (with some spray adhesive)?
It seems to me that they're ultimately the same thing, but you guys have the experience!
After that, we'll wrap everything in a thin suede coat, mount it, and get to work.

Will,
For a cloud you want full absorption at mid and high frequencies. So use plain rock wool - no foil or paper - and cover with a soft acoustically transparent fabric.
