Default Reflectix - protecting wiring from shorting out

I have finished installing Refeltix in the firewall of my 68 and I took the time to re-wrap all wiring because I understand that I don't want any wires shorting out if they touch the Reflectix.

My question concerns the radio. It will sit down on top of the Reflectix once installed. Do I need to worry about the metal radio housing sitting directly on the Reflectix? Any other hidden issues I should be aware of before I put my dash back together?

Thanks,
Q

i don't believe you would have a problem. the radio chassis is grounded, so nothing could cause a short. if any wire touched the radio, it would blow the fuse for that circuit.
don't cut off air circulation for radio cooling.
