A box with multilayer walls: insulator/metal/insulator/ metal etc does a
much better job of attenuating thermal fluctuations.
The insulator layer only need be significantly poorer at conducting heat
than the metal layer.
Tufnol sheets are OK for the insulator layers, they bond well to
aluminium sheets with epoxy.
You just need to remove the few watts of heat from the OCXO without too
large an internal temperature rise.
