John:- the first thing, clean the area, sand it to clean the best way you
can. not too much
-then put a fine coat of super fill,(,, a two part) item- goes 2 to one
,,- read the container
-let over night.. then- sand smooth..- clean.--- "Apply , paint
I used rustoleum,
heat resistan,,- I preferred- white...
Once dry,,, put a wide piece of Self Adhesive, Aluminum tape,- lbuy anywh
ere
Auto parts, Home Depot...is about 6" wide.. put a long piece right under th
e
Exhaust pipes.-- I might do as many do, perhaps a better way... I have
seen
where they use aluminum sheets instead of tape,, and over the entire inside
of
the cowl....you also get that under home... at home depot,,it has like writ
ing
all over,, my friend at the airpot did that, it looks good,,with some color
inside..
and it is fully protected against heat fire etc...

RV Group,

I have an RV6, changed the oil today and noticed that the bottom cowling ha
s a bubble about 6=94 in diameter next to the exhaust where it makes the be
nd from the manifold (closest point to the cowling), obviously the exhaust
is to hot for the cowling at this point, from the out side of the cowling y
ou can also just see the bubble.- This is now a weaker area of the cowlin
g; I did not build the airplane and am wondering what I should do about the
heat first and then the cowling.- The cowling may have been like this si
nce my last oil change and perhaps will be something I deal with down the r
oad.- I can not imagine this causing a major failure but will probably ju
st become unsightly to a point where it needs to be fixed.- Any feed back
is wanted and welcome.
