Al,
No I haven't, and in this case what I will need to protect will be inside the
boiler and completely inaccessible. In a few days I'll do a trial fitting of
the steam pipe assembly. This will tell me if indeed the assembly can be put
in place through the steam dome hole and if so I can pre-solder it all and then
I think the air inside the barrel will be all the insulation I'll need to carry
off the rest of it.
I tried some plumbers heat shield in paste form a few years ago and it was
worthless. I'm sure it has very good shielding qualities but it wouldn't stick
to copper and slid right off before I got anywhere near soldering temperature.
