Heated Platform Insulation

I got some exhaust wrap to replace the white ceramic tape insulation on my nozzle. (the ceramic tape is annoying and falls appart easily, this stuff is easily re-usable) So I figured I'd try to use some to insulate my heated platform. Seems to work nice, interestingly the thermistor is now reporting a 5-10 degree higher than the top of the platform. This exhaust wrap is like a high temp fabric, so I sewed some together and attached it to my platform with bent paper clips and made a blanket to lay on top to heat it up faster and keep it warm.

 

Found Exhaust Wrap at Advanced Auto Parts for $32 for a roll 1" wide and 50 feet long:
