I suspect a lot of the corrugated plastic burns entirely too well. The stuff
one can get from Airtex meets the flame retardant requirements of the FARs,
although as an experimental, we obviously don't need to meet those unless we
care about burning up or something.
Another consideration is that the adhesive needs to be something that is non-
corrosive, and doesn't trap moisture. I'm sure there are many adhesives that
meet this requirement, but the one I know of for sure is the stuff Airtex
peddles.
No, I don't own stock in Airtex. Their stuff just has a good track record, and
its a known entity.
