ss Foil at process temperatures?

Stainless Steel Foil was mentioned in another post in regard to kiln repair. Here are a couple of links to product offerings: http://www.quickshipmetals.com/foils/st ... 00224.html and http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/stainl ... alog/N-c23.Terry Gallentine wrote:I wonder if you could try placing a layer of stainless steel foil against the metal wall and reinstall the blanket over that. The ss foil is available through metal casting suppliers I believe. It might not stop the rust but it should at least contain it and keep it from falling on your work.
Has anyone used this product in the kiln to process temperatures? Here's my thought - coat the ss foil with shelf primer or spray release and use instead of thinfire or similar refractory products. Could be valuable in constructing large, flat-surfaced kiln shelves or potentially save $$ not using disposable refractory.
