Open mouth, insert foot. I think from Dean's posting that he was
looking for a way to remove heat from the cockpit of his TR6. I was
thinking (I know, a bad habit) that the cermic tape would dissipate
the heat, but remembering that cermics are insulators, (but my coffee
cup would disprove this) I now realize that I'm unsure of the result
of the cermic tape. How would adding ceramic tape make the cockpit
cooler? Did I misread that part of the posting? Oh well. I'm going
home and put food where my foot is.
