But I can imagine it also working on a hot surface. Possible to try out on a cooktop. In this video it withstands a thermite reaction. Cool YT channel btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtm_xOtw_r0

Post #6 It's not really any different from intumescent paint. No good for heat sheilding as it has to burning already to work, it's used to hold back fire from spreading for a while. 406's already use it on the bulkhead and tunnel interestingly. Don't ask how I found that out. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
