no problem, glad to help

 

Be careful about header wraps . . . done wrong, you will crack it from trapped moisture. Talk to some DSM'ers who have use it . . . at least few have the experience with the product.

Since I don't have experience, I can't say anything.

BTW: I do believe TurboM on our board has used them. Email him about proper usage.

 

Follow the manufacturer's directions EXACTLY!!

For example with the DEI wrap you must overlap 1/4 of it (no more no less). Keep it tight, there should be zero gaps, zero loose parts. Also after it is wrapped you must then coat it with a hi-temp silicone spray (they usually handle some 1600degrees F). This will keep the metal from becoming damaged underneath. If you live in a humid area be very wary of using wraps and making sure you COMPLETELY coat the area with the silicone spray.

 

You guys are scaring me.

I'll be moving to Orlando FL this weekend. Is that humid enough for ya?
I'll have to do some further research into this. Thanks for the warning.
