HANSWAY 18" x 24" x 1/8" Carbon Fiber Welding Blanket - Protect Your Work Area at High Temperatures

Lisa Nicole: I do not use this for its intended purpose but it does perform quite well for me. I was intentionally looking for something a little thinner to be easier to work with for my intended purpose. Being thin I do not feel i am sacrificing quality. I also flame clean mine with a tourch lighter to remove dust and can confirm it holds up well without any noticeable scorch marks or even discoloration. Although i prefer to buy carbon felt made here in the US, this was a good alternative when money was tight. I may purchase again in the future if needed during "lean times".

rick23113: Worked great when I was removing pipes in the wall. Unsoldered the pipe joints without a burn mark in the wall.

Vincent Price - NOT: I bought this to replace a much smaller flame/heat protecting blanket from Oatey that I bought for soldering copper pipes in small spaces next to flamable studs. I tested this with an open MAP-Pro flame, and while it did smoke up a lot more than the Oatey blanket when hot open flame directly directed right on it, it did protect the wood behind it from catching on fire. The other side was warm to the touch after applying open flame to the one side for a few seconds, and there was a visible color change where the flame hit, but the material did not catch fire and it did not get damaged other than just the color change and smoking. After the testing, I used it to cover up a joist in my 30-year-old basement that was just 1/2" (about a cm) from the copper pipe and fitting that I needed to solder together. The blanket protected the decades-old dried wooden joist from any sign of damage. In contrast, when I had worked on the same area about 20 years earlier, I had left a burn mark on the same joist: again, no damage, no burn mark with this blanket protecting the wood behind the workpiece.

This generic (or "HANSWAY?") blanket is noticeably thinner than the Oatey blanket that I had...

Minh Pham: Bought this in preparation for some remodeling work I have to do around the house (bathroom, kitchen), where I'll have to pull some old sweated water supply valves off and replace with new ones, and these valves are really close to the walls. Haven't done the remodeling yet, but did test the effectiveness of this product by torching it. It just looks like the material may catch on fire, but did not; it did give off a burnt smell after the experiment. The burnt area did not flake off or disintegrate. So it seems the product holds up. I'm comfortable with using this for the aforementioned purpose; I would double up the layers just be sure that the wall I'm trying to protect is not going to get burned.

Mike.: This welding blanket is soft and manoeuvrable,and works well for those small delicate welding areas to protect against spatter.
