Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
- Cuts with scissors.
- The reinforced foil should be placed on the substrate you want to protect with the foil facing the heat source.
- Clean the application surface with denatured alcohol to remove any grease, oil, and other particles.
- Adhesive backing is excellent for metal and high energy plastics. Can also be installed with rivets and a washer in extreme heat situations. Simple adhesive backed magnets can be used in a low-temperature install where you may want to remove the heat shield later.
- Install on top of any material with a lower temperature rating that you want to protect from radiant heat, such as closed cell foam or MLV.
- Keep at least 2" of clearance from the heat source. Edges can be protected with foil insulation tape.
- For thicker materials that include an insulating backing, check out Mega Block or Thermal Block.
