Twenty five or so years ago we had an asbestos & water mix paste called Klix to absorb heat and it did work very well. Then they outlawed asbestos and that was the end of that product . If you just want to run a weld seam on sheet metal you can just put 3 or 4 sheets of wet newspaper on the sides of the welds, an old time body shop trick that also can work pretty well. ~ John Buchtenkirch

Ian: Do a search on "heat fence". It is more than a myth.

The only paste I've heard anything about is called solar flux and it was used as an aid for back gasing, basically you brush it on the back side of your weld seam and go for it.

Heat Fence is a great product. I don't use it anymore on autobody sheetmetal work because it gets in the way if you want to do any hammer and dolly work as you weld a seam. On jobs that take a lot of time it also has a tendency to dry out and fall off just when you need the protection.

Well, looks like I well and truly fell off my fence!

I have been using Heat Fence for years in my sculpture work for silver soldering. It works great for protecting previously soldered joints that are nearby from melting.
When it gets dry, add water to it. Main problem is it's so damned messy.

I just changed the headlights in my Edsel. I needed to modify the buckets and the center mounting bracket. The bracket had some Nylon type nuts pressed in to hold the adjustment screw (made it self locking). Anyway I had to use the heat fence to protect the 50 year old plastic nuts that are not available anywhere.
Or do you have an Edsel parts supply house by you?? Really they are a Ford part but I was still unable to find any replacements, had to make my own from some license plate nuts, for the ones I broke. My point is, there is always a spot that it could be needed.
