chill dude  , i'm just thinking of it relating to metallurgy. what you said is true, and that's what everyone says (even the makers of the stuff). and you are spot on as far as using sheilds and getting greater airflow  , unless you want to keep heat in the pipe to begin with (as opposed to keeping heat away from everything else)
for me it's more interesting to work out the cause of the problem, so then we can work out how to make it not happen.
another reason that has been suggested to me today is that the fibres (particularly for carbon fibres) abrade the surface of the metal and cause tiny peaks and valleys, which accelerate corrosion due to the change in surface energy (from the sharp scratches)
maybe that's why they recommend to paint first??
what i'm more worried about is the wrap disentegrating from the pipe resonance.... all the paint resonated off (not burnt), so it could happen to the wrap as well! yikes!
Cya, Stewart
