Any experience with this Fiberfrax stuff?
 

The stuff I got from Aircraft Spruce is great... as long as you don't heat it up.

I used it on several weld joints to slow the cooling.  I made a cup of cardboard with the Fiberfrax coating the inside.  If I tried to use it to blanket the weld directly, it would start smoking, turn grey, and immediately become even more delicate than it how it started.  It would literally fall apart in your hand.

My sense of it is that Fiberfrax needs to be constrained to areas where it can be completely supported on both sides.
