Look for Zetex industrial cloth, used for high temperature
environments, fibreglass fabric covered with aluminized reflective coating,
applied with silicone rubber. You cut it to fit with scissors, and glue
it in place. Would be fine over Fiberfrax. Be sure to glue
the edges down well. Cut a paper pattern first, fit in place, cut some
reliefs for curved sections, and go for it.
Google Zetex or see
www.newtex.com/
I bought a roll and have used it
widely including lining the interior of the lower cowl where the exhaust was
starting to discolour the fibreglass with heat. My Cirrus buddy had
blistering the paint on his wheel pants due to brake disk heating, a well known
Cirrus problem. We cut some Zetex, put it into the heat damaged area,
problem stopped.

Subject: fiberfrax
Would
anyone have a suggestion on a coating or paint to protect fiberfrax from
the elements, water, dirt, oil, etc.?
Also,
any comments on fireproofing the inside of the nosewheel well which is
open at the firewall when the gear is down?
