Hello my name's Justin an I'm new to the group an new to all this I'm a welder an have been fascinated by forge welding an just recently bought a forge set up that just needs insulated I'm using a 10 in diameter pipe an was told to use kaowool with satinnite to finish insulating but was told satinnite can be brittle an if it gets a hole punch led in you need to redo the process I'm seeing welding temperature being around the 2300 degrees an i found this stuff called inswool thats moldable an is supposedly little more resilient to normal wear an won't have to worry about puncturing it an exposing the kaowool an release fibers in air that can harm you but the problem is it's maximum range is 2300 degrees so I'm wondering if anyone has used this how it holds up how often you need to change it ect. I contacted the company an they said I believe it will withstand the temperature but I'd like to get your guys feedback before I spent 80 bucks on a gallon of the stuff thanks in advance I apologize in advance if this is hard to read I'm typing fast
