just recently discovered (1200TT) that the lower cowl has three areas of delaminated
fiberglass. Preparing for the repair I found a thin honeycomb and reportedly 5 layers of glass.
 The areas of delamination seemed to be directly below the three in one connection to the heat muff and the exhaust tube of #6. Has anyone else experienced this problem? possibly the higher temperatures of the Southwestern USA are to blame. I have been opening the oil door after each landing to keep the under cowl temperatures under control.

I have seen this on a number of planes that do not have heat shield in those areas. The inside of the cowl turns brown, then black, then starts to delaminate on the inside, then starts to delaminate on the outside. I have seen all stages of this. Remove the delaminates part, lay up new glass to cover that area with an overlap of the surrounding areas, then add heat shield after it cures.

Jesse, should this be stick-on reflective foil or does it need some backing layer or a stand-off air gap to be effective?

I experienced the burn problem.  Once repaired, I used Thermo-Guard FR  
There is a reflective layer and some kind of insulating padding (air gap).  There have been no signs of further damage several hundred hours later.

In my unqualified opinion, I beleive that a reflective only shield would work fine.  But I have no experience to bear that out.

The stick-on reflective foil is sufficient to prevent the delamination. Other types of material may protect the fiberglass better, but I can’t speak to that. Jesse SaintSaint Aviation, Inc.jesse(at)saintaviation.com (jesse(at)saintaviation.com)C: 352-427-0285F: 815-377-3694

I've had no issues with just reflective stick-on foil.
If you can do that all over and add a patch with the
insulated backing near the very closest areas, you would
maybe even be better off, but I have no complaints
with what I have.

I have the adhesive backed aluminum foil on the lower cowl. 400 hrs and no trouble with delamination or any other heat related defects. It was easy and effective.

How did you finish the interior of your cowl before applying foil?

A coat of thinned epoxy and then I actually just had my painter shoot a coat of white inside the whole cowl. That way any area that didn’t get foil would still look nice and clean up easily. Works as anticipated.

How did you finish the interior of your cowl before applying foil?

I have the adhesive backed aluminum foil on the lower cowl. 400 hrs and no trouble with delamination or any other heat related defects. It was easy and effective.

The stick-on reflective foil is sufficient to prevent the delamination. Other types of material may protect the fiberglass better, but I can’t speak to that.

Jesse, should this be stick-on reflective foil or does it need some backing layer or a stand-off air gap to be effective?

I have seen this on a number of planes that do not have heat shield in those areas. The inside of the cowl turns brown, then black, then starts to delaminate on the inside, then starts to delaminate on the outside. I have seen all stages of this. Remove the delaminates part, lay up new glass to cover that area with an overlap of the surrounding areas, then add heat shield after it cures.

just recently discovered (1200TT) that the lower cowl has three areas of delaminated
fiberglass. Preparing for the repair I found a thin honeycomb and reportedly 5 layers of glass.
The areas of delamination seemed to be directly below the three in one connection to the heat muff and the exhaust tube of #6. Has anyone else experienced this problem? possibly the higher temperatures of the Southwestern USA are to blame. I have been opening the oil door after each landing to keep the under cowl temperatures under control.
