Builder Feedback

Aircraft Firewall – RV-6
“Koolmat Insulation is very easy to work with. It cuts nicely and glues in place well. We sealed the edges and seams with fire barrier 2000 caulk, including all firewall penetrations. We also used it on aircraft N800XT, which competed in the World Aerobatic Contest in France in 2015.”
