The stuff I got from Aircraft Spruce is great... as long as you don't 
heat it up.

I used it on several weld joints to slow the cooling.  I made a cup of 
cardboard with the Fiberfrax coating the inside.  If I tried to use it 
to blanket the weld directly, it would start smoking, turn grey, and 
immediately become even more delicate than it how it started.  It would 
literally fall apart in your hand.

My sense of it is that Fiberfrax needs to be constrained to areas where 
it can be completely supported on both sides.
