Question 1

How long is this roll?

Accepted Answer

Not a roll ... 12" x 12" square

Question 2

I want to use to line the outside bottom of saddlebags.  I bought new cheap ones that seem to get hot real easy from my straight pipes will this work?

Accepted Answer

The answer is possibly.  Here is my experience. I needed to protect my plastic tray in my golf cart from my catalytic heater.  When the insulation was attached to the heat shield that was just above the output from the heater, the adhesive would not stick in a few minutes.  So I attached the insulation to the plastic tray above the heater and it has worked fine.  The space between the heat shield and the plastic tray is 1-2 inches (not linear since the tray and the heat shield are at angles to each other.  The tray gets a little warm, not hot.  I would assume your straight pipes are on a motorcycle?  Since the specs for the insulation properties are not given, you don't have any quantitative data to use in figuring out whether this will work or not so it will cost you some $$ to find out if you choose that route.  The distance from the straight pipe to the saddle bags will be a major factor.  The farther the distance the better.  I assume the straight pipe will put out more heat than my catalytic heater.  I might suggest putting on one layer to determine if the insulation will adhere to the saddle bags and if it protects the desired area from the heat.  If the insulation adheres to the saddle bags and you still want to reduce the heat to the saddle bags I might try adding additional layers.  The product is fairly thin, I would guess 1/16-3/32 inches. My overall opinion of this product is that it is a decent product, but like all products it has it limits.  The just are a lot of variables when working with these types of situations.

Question 3

Can I apply this product to clothing and peel it off and re-use as necessary?

Accepted Answer

You could apply it with varying degrees of success to some fabrics, but I can't imagine peeling it off would work well and reapplying should be nearly impossible.  Sorry.

Question 4

Would this work to line the bottom of my winter boot under the wool liner?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but be aware this product contains fiberglass and may cause problems with your feet. A better suggestion is to use our Thermo Guard (pn 14120). It does NOT contain fiberglass and is thicker, which will give you more cushion.
