I've got a propane pizza oven which has some hot spots on the base.
Could I use this tape to cover up some of the holes in the bottom gas pipe to reduce the amount of heat which hits the base?
- userbinator 4y agoAre you referring to the burner? That's far hotter than this tape can withstand: Withstands temperatures from -65°F/-54°C to 450°F/232°C and intermittent temperatures up to 550°F/288°C or higher, depending on the type and duration of the heat source
- amelius 4y agoAny tape that can do it?
- murderfs 4y agoBasalt tape might be an option: it's commonly used for car exhaust insulation.
- userbinator 4y agoAs hot as exhaust pipes get, I doubt it would compare to being directly next to an open flame.
- londons_explore 4y agoA gas flame (ie. The blue ones when air is premixed) don't give off a lot of radiant heat, so anything below them ought to be okay.
- dreamcompiler 4y agoSounds like a job for kaowool.
- elil17 4y agoI bet this tape would still work though given that his application doesn’t require high strength or residue-free removal. The correct/ideal tapes will be called “refractory tapes.” They are essentially clay-like strips.
- askvictor 4y agoIt's covering the gas outlets of the burner; the gas doesn't ignite till it's a little way beyond the burner, and most of the heat would rise (some would radiate down, and some radiant heat would reflect back off the plate/grill). So it _might_ not get too there, and this might work. Though I think a strip of aluminium wrapped around the spot would probably be easier.
- coryrc 4y agoNo, but I bet a metal hose clamp would work.
- CamperBob2 4y agoLook for Thermo-Tec 13575 or similar part # at your local auto parts store. It will likely work better than glass cloth tape for that purpose.
