Hi,

I have one can of BVM Heat Shield Paint which I bought long time ago and also tested it with two coats onto Balsa woods.

I concluded myself after burning the coated area with small torch flames and found that the surface shall not be combusted but after removing the paint the balsa wood was sooted. This mean that the paint shall not protect heat itself properly but just good for fire speading or iginiting for a few seconds or even munites.

If we imagine it for FRP (just epoxy or polyester resin), it can not help to protect the deformation from the heat since turbine heat from wet start (mainly the reason to put heat sheild, I guess), since paint can just deter the combustion with materials from fire contact, not blocking the heat itself. Thus, I would guess the heat blanket will be better for protection inside but still not perfect until several layers on it.

BVM heat sheild paint will be useful for wood part or combustiable materials to deter from burning. In case of tail corn, the steel sheeted one is the best one, I guess...
