Koolmat, Install question
Goodmorning,
Anybody use this stuff? Did you order the precut package or the rolls?
Wondering how easy it is to cut this stuff? razor knife?
The rolls, two of them, are about half the price of the precut package and if you figure in the kit for the firewall, the rolls get real cheap.
Thanks ,
Jw

KoolMat is a space age material used in thousands of Commercial, Industrial and Automotive applications. KoolMat is a composite material of silicone cured to the surface and weave of a high temperature fiberglass substrate. Weighing .72 per sq. foot and a thickness of .070. Because the silicone attaches itself to the textile, there is no separation, and no flow of air or liquids through KoolMat. The silicone offers a great resistance to abrasion, radiant heat, gasses and oils. No matter what temperatures. It is also an excellent sound deadening device. KoolMat is flexible and can be die cut to any shape or size and still perform like no other barrier. KoolMat is able to withstand 500° F of radiant heat and up to 2000° F with a ceramic backing. Used in 8O% of NASCAR and accepted by NHRA in October 1994.
30" WIDE
SOLD BY THE RUNNING FOOT
$39.49 PER FOOT
I've never used it but if it's good enough for NHRA there must be something there. I would imagine you'd be on the right track with a razor knife or scissors. It doesn't say wether it's self adhesive or not. Either way, let us know, if you use it, how you like it.

Thanks for your input, but would still like to hear from someone who has used the stuff.
Randell Racing has it for 29.00 per ft. { a 4' x 30" for 117.00 } and sugest it installs with some kind of silicone adhesive.
Thanks,
