I had a load of wall tiles left over, offcuts and that, so I used them last time, seemed pretty heat resistant. Other option is use speedfit everywhere

Gotta watch they don't blow-up in your face....

Try a flame deflector for the blow torch. Also laco do a gel spray on heat mat which is good for tight spaces.

I used an old fire blanket yrs ago, that I cut into smaller squares
Didn't give a thought about it being asbestos then
Now use the monument ones which when they get caked in flux, will smoke a house out in about 10 mins
