Hi, I have a piece of carbon felt that I want to make into a "sleeve" or "tube" to fit around the top part of my beer can pot, not only for picking it up but to leave on while boiling to insulate the top of the pot for faster boils and fuel efficiency. What is the best way to affix one end of the felt to the other?
Considering the intense heat it will be exposed to I didn't think regular glue would be an option, but then again perhaps the felt will insulate enough that regular glue would work. But if not then what? JB Weld? Sew the ends together (if so with what)? Staples? Velcro (would it melt?).
Would appreciate input from anyone with direct experience affixing carbon felt to itself. Thanx!
