Default Glue for Fiberfrax
Can someone direct me to a good hi temp glue to use for gluing Fiberfrax to the bottom of my cowl?

Epoxy has been used in this application with success. You are gluing the cool side of the fiberfax to the epoxy resin cowl, and it will all be covered with Al foil, right?

^^^ Been using red RTV on Fiberfrax for 30+ years and it's still glued nicely to the cowls.
