gen radiator update, question on insulation

[Jim Owens]

Rose Mary,

Congratulations! I'm sure your little brother would be proud of you!
You are an inspiration to me and my wife, she's willing to
tackle 'Bird repairs and enjoys the "adventure" of learning by doing.

The 'Birds have sprayed on urethane insulation for sound supression
on the underside of the coach. I have no idea of its heat resistance
properties... I'm sure someone on the forum(s) has more direct
knowledge of this product or can recommend another product better
suited to your application.

Keep learning, you'll have the "enjoyment" and satisfaction of having
done it yourself for much less money than hiring it done.
