Default RE: Thermal Blanket for tailpipe---Source?

Here's the brief on how to use the BVM insulation blanket.
Make a paper template that covers the upper 1/3 of the fuselage above the tailpipe. Transfer that template to the ceramic insulation material, and using sharp scissors, cut the ceramic to shape. Snatch a piece of aluminum foil from the kitchen when your wife's back is turned. Then, glue the aluminum foil to one side of the ceramic with hi-temp RTV from the auto parts store. Trim the foil, allowing 1/4" oversize on all sides. The aluminum foil is shiny one one side....that is the side I always leave out. Fold the edges over the ceramic about 1/4". Trial fit this blanket into the upper part of the fuselage, and when you are satisfied with the fit, glue it in with the hi-temp RTV, aluminum side toward the tailpipe.
That's it. No tape required....no adhesive to burn.

Hope this info helps...........
