Hi All,  

   

Before I run the engine with the cowling on I’m looking for ideas on how much thermal protection you guys have or wish you had put on the lower cowling to keep the exhaust heat from blistering the paint.    

   

On the last airplane I used this stuff http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/mufflerheatshieldkit.php glued on with hi-temp silicon and it worked real well.

Van's sells some good self-stick aluminum foil that is great for lining 

the lower cowl with.  No paint blisters.  Also, it's a good idea to

thin out some epoxy and brush it on the lower cowl to fill all the

voids and areas where oils can absorb.  This also leaves a good surface

for the self-stick to adhere.
