Suppressor Wrap

[ANADRILL]

I have looked online, and I am not impressed with the wraps I see there, seems expensive for what your getting.
Has anyone here made a suppressor wrap for an AR-15. I was in Bower's, and they pulled up a welding cloth sold online that looked promising for 14.99. I am not going for looks, just want to kill the mirage. Anyway, any suggestions?

Exhaust manifold wrap?

Was looking at that, but was told it may collect moisture...Have you tried it?

No, it just came to mind.

Ive used it on cars before it can and does trap moisture but I don't see this being too much of a problem on a firearm because your not driving it through puddles etc

Something like motorcycle exhaust pipe wrap? http://www.jpcycles.com/exhaust-wrap

One thing about it from a motorcycle perspective is the heat retention can be damaging to the pipes.

Nomex?

Nomex is another idea, but need to find a place that sells it in small quanities.

The heat generated in a short period of time vs heat dissipation will give you issues with exhaust / heat wrap sooner than later.

An exhaust while heating up is moving, allowing air to pass over the wrap and diminish temp faster rather than slower.

Here are a few of the many links
If you decide to bulk buy, lmk as, i have an interest in some too.

Ok, pardon my newb. What is the wrap for? I see it all the time and just thought it was for looks.

Does it actually serve a purpose?
