Can these be used as a heat shield? Like for automotive purposes?
Is the outer layer flammable?

Just tested it. The super small fibers will light on fire for a second. The actual strands glow red hot but don't ignite.

After its red hot it just falls apart, not sure how long it would last as a heat shield.

I assume each panel has more than one layer, but how many?

Anyone have any advice on the best way of cutting the fabric? I've tried knife, scissors without much luck. Only can cut about 2 layers at a time. Takes awile to cut 35 layers lol
