Hey guys what is the trick when using this type of wrap, not to end up with a bunch of loose strings during the wrap process. The DEI is different than the Cool It Thermo Tec.

Haven't had the loose string problem. I overlap the starting point, overlap each pass about 25-30%, and at the ends I'll use a metal tie-wrap, or a hose clamp if I need to unwrap it in the future for servicing or access. If I use a hose clamp, I always trim the length of the tail during mock-up for a clean appearance and to prevent catching something on it.

Like when you have to replace the thermally disintegrated tube it is insulating


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

...that could be, but I only run the stuff near the starter and those cars don't see rain. No problems yet (fingers crossed).
