Steam boiler Insulation

Look for something like Kaowool, its a manmade fibre. I'm using two layers of teh 1/16" thick with a sheet of baking foil between on my Fowler (5" boiler, 1/8" gap) you can get it in thicker sheets or just double up. Not expensive you should be able to do it for under a tenner.
If you can't find it then M J Engineering stock it.

Blackgates Model Engineering Supplies also do Kaowool in 1mm, 2mm and 1/4" http://www.blackgates.co.uk

Hope this helps.

Steam boiler Insulation

HI all
I am not sure If this Is the right place to raise this. If not, I apologise.
I have a dry back marine boiler and I need to Insulate the dry back. It Is cylindrical, about 5.5" dia. What material would you recommend? I would have used asbestos sheet but this Is no longer any good (health & safety).
I hope someone can help
