There was a guy that build a heat wrap from the same material, but he also used material like patio screening to help it hold together. His under cowling temps dropped some fantastic amount. He did it on a Lycoming but it was over 10 years ago and that's all I remember.

All finished, and nobody to check me out in my plane....:(
For just a shield, if simple stainless/AL radiant barrier is inadequate, what about Fiberfax (sp?) used by some as a heat barrier on firewalls?

Hi Charlie,
I tried Fiberfax and while it shielded just fine, it easily absorbed oil, grease, etc. I had it protecting the bottom of my cowl and I finally decided that it presented a fire hazard and removed it. Just my experience for what its worth.
