but will it be ok at 500C ?

it needs to be used for insulation around what is basically... a 500 litre chip pan....

.... theres the side of the tank, then an air gap (heated from under so hot gas passes through this gap) then I was thinking, thin sheet of stainless steel, then insulation... then wood :-)

(p.s. already bought nice stainless steel tanks to use)
(p.p.s. I could buy some already done... but prices start at £10k!)

Come off it knighty, you are just after making new boxer shorts... :lol:

Go visit the Kennedy Space Centre or wherever they are launching space shuttles and borrow some thermal tiles from it. Just say that Sam sent you and there wont be a problem ;)  ;)
