| Subject: | Fiberfrax on the firewall |
Has anyone out there used a product called FYREWRAP to insulate their firewall?
It is a fiberfrax-like product with stainless steel foil on one side. Regardless
of the product, is it better to insulate on the engine side or the cabin side
(or not insulate at all?)

Probably approaches primer in various opinions. I used fiberfrax on the
cabin side of firewall. I prefer having engine side of firewall smooth,
so that oil and dirt can be easily cleaned. Others will wax poetic about
advantages of engine side of firewall.

Cabin side. That way the grease and grime does not get into the insulation.
I used this for the whole plane (the double sided version):

And this tape to hold it all in:

If you want to do the minimalistic approach then just do the inside of the
firewall and the tunnel floor. I did all the hidden areas between the
floorboards, under the seats and the where the hull has a double wall.
