If Reflectix is the stuff with the bubbles in it, it did melt from my catayltic converter....

The product we get is not frost king but I assumed it was the same. It is Duct insulation from HOME Hardware. It is foam backed with aluminum coating , self adhesive and will not burn even we put very very close to hot headers, A friend did a test and with a propane torch on it it wouldn't burn.

Zeroclearance is expensive, but it is specifically designed for exterior automotive purposes including under vehicle, engine compartments etc....

OK...maybe I've missed it along the way, so I appologize in advance...
How does the Frost King stuff stick to the panels? Do you use spray adhesive like the 3M stuff? Whta would a guy have invested for an entire interior? Thanks.
