Has Anyone Used Fiberglass Tape on Their DIY Re-flow Oven?
I thought a nice touch or "gilding the lily," on my DIY re-flow oven would be to use fiberglass tape on the outside of the interior oven box. I was only questioning it because the tape is rated for 500 degrees F, and even at 250 degrees C (for lead free) we are under that, but I was concerned that 500F is OK on the fiberglass side, but maybe not the adhesive side which will be hotter.
Any Opinions? Can I put the adhesive side on the hot oven surface?
And also--has anyone done insulation experiments?
Thanks,

You can use welding blanket on the unfinished oven build. Whilst it does provide some insulation it doesn't do as much as I thought it would.
It's a thick weave designed to shield things from a gas flame rather than to trap air for insulation. Fibreglass loft insulation might be better but would be nastier to work with.
