I've used it too in a lot of places.  If it's not toooo terribly hot, it will last a good while, and it's so cheap you can replace it 40 times for the price of the fancy stuff.  That said, the fancy stuff is all that works on a really challenging site ... Jim S.

The problem with most adhesive backed stuff used in high heat environments though, is that eventually the adhesive dries out and the material falls off.  I've seen this happen with the aluminum tape quite often.

Bob,

You can also use adhesive backed aluminum tape.

It is sold in any home improvement store (Home Depot).

It's inexpensive and no messy chemicals.
