Welcome, Bob.
Dog food can will work just as well {:>)
By the way, I happened to notice while drooling over a machine tool catalog
that they make a stainless steel foil about the same thickness as common
aluminum foil. They apparently wrap metal in it when heat treating it to
keep carbon scale from forming, so it must be pretty crunchable to be able
to do that. Trouble is its a bit expensive and they only sell it in 50 ft
rolls.
Anybody have any experience with this stuff in their lives as a machinist?

Thanks Ed,
It jus sounded like a good tidbit to file away for future use. I will
have to develop a different technique though. I don't have a cat. :)

Bob, I use MEK mixing the RTV and MEK in a cat metal food can and then
brushing it onto the cowling. Acetone might work as well, just haven't
tired it. You don't want it watery, just thinned down enough to spread
easily with a brush (I use the plumbers throw away metal handle acid
brushes). Then lay your aluminum over the spread and press it down
firmly.
I use grocery store heavy duty aluminum foil. You can tear the foil but
it
stays attached and it keeps the heat and oil from the fiberglass. Its
easy
and cheap enough to replace if you mess it up.

Hi Perry (or Ed),
What solvent did you use?
