I used stainless, and think it is .015, and painted the firewall with the paint that kills fire. I got the paint from AS and the stainless locally. I can check on that stainless price and let you know. It was nowhere near the $65/sq ft. that was mentioned. I am copying myself on this to work to make a note to check the price.
Remember that aluminum burns really hot and is probably more detrimental than protection. I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night...

I used a layer of fiberfrax against the firewall with aluminum sheet over it, pretty light gage probably 0.016 but readily available. Got the fiberfrax from Aircraft Spruce. Aluminum from local supplier. This is recommend by Tony Bengalis in one of his books I recall. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fiberfrax.php?clickkey=6977 Rob Schmitt N1852Z www.robert7721.com -----Original Message----- From: KRnet [mailto:krnet-bounces at list.krnet.org] On Behalf Of Dan Prichard Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 5:59 PM To: KR List Subject: KR> Firewall material FYI. Neither wicks or aircraft spruce carry .005 stainless sheet or any other size below .015. I found a specialty supplier in Ashland Oregon and they want $63 per sqft. A touch spendy for me. Fortunately I have a piece coming from a generous KR builder. So for the other new builders out there, good luck and share with the group where you find it.
