My Silica wrap came in today (like header wrap but this one is much more HD) and from what I was reading, you are supposed to soak it in water before applying, let dry and spray some silicone coating on it...I was wondering if that spray was something I could buy locally or do I need to buy online and if so, is there additional $ shipping?
Plan on wrapping my O2 housing and probably part of my DP (both 304 SS) and curious if one wrap around, overlapped of 1/16" thk is sufficient, or should I plan on going twice...this particular wrap is 96% silica and while I can't find what brand x is made from, this seems to be at the upper end of the spectrum, so not sure if that makes a difference here or not. I have 50' of it, but don't want to waste it and be nice to have some leftover, so trying to put the minimum on.
Does the ends need to be fastened down with say SS wire, or will it have enough 'holding power' once it dries on and with the silicone spray?
thanks...looking to put this on real soon so I 'wrap' up this car soon! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
