So here I am breaking my own 3 days a week only rules on the internet as I had to pay bills and decided to drop by! hahahahaha I'm going to use this stuff:
The insulation is 1" foil faced Polydamp Hydrophobic Melamine made by Polymer Technologies:

I used 3M™ Super Trim Adhesive, 08090, to glue the stuff down.

This stuff is super strong and formulated to handle the heat. It passes the rip test which means that if you grab the insulation and pull, the melamine tears instead of the glue.

Dave B used back in '10 for his engine compartment and it has performed well... as I said in your engine post, its pricey but I'm going to use it anyway. Others have used insulation sheets from JC Whitney and other vendors like Dupree products as well. Plenty of choices and price points that all appear to have good results reported! :-)

Just saw Markus's update on your engine post, that's good to know about current price comparisons as my data was 3 years old, thanks!
