DIY suppressor cover

I put a silicone sleeve on. Then wrap ends with silicone wrap, coban, then some electrical tape.

Wrap in heat resistant cooking oven sheets then wrap it in your choice of tape. There are softer “rubbery” sheets and ones with a fiber mesh. Don’t use the slippery teflon type, unless you want to work harder to keep it on.

It will work for short strings to avoid mirage and protect it.

Do you have a link to what one you would use?

How does this hold up to heat on a range, say a ten shot string? Seems like it would melt?

This stuff won’t melt with 10 shots. That tape over it is fine. Most use vet wrap.

My nephew tooled a leather sleeve for me. I haven't shot a lot with it but it's been fine so far. I also have not had it in any weather.

The silicon will melt a little and vet wrap a lot w 20 rounds on a .223 the way I shoot. That’s why I added header wrap over the silicone.

The silicone tape works very well if you aren’t shooting more than 10 rounds strings, don’t cheap out on the vet wrap, get 3m.

Where I’ve landed is silicone tape, then a layer of header wrap ( motor exhaust header), then the vet wrap. The silicone is probably getting melted a little on occasion, but comes right off. I think I’m still under 2oz.

I would do just the header wrap but it slips, the combo is

Just to know before I order, this is what you mean when you say header wrap correct ?

I took a piece of an old leather welding sleeve and cut a piece to fit around it. Tied it on with some gutted paracord. It has held up very well.

Looks to be same kind of stuff. Duct tape works pretty well in place of Vet wrap fwiw
