You can wrap your dick up with that ---- if you want to. The stink will be there for about 40 heating cycles then it will slowly go away.

there is definately fiberglass or silica fibers. I originally thought asbestos but probably not... Just take a COLD shower and try to scrub it off. From what I've learned from insulating some homes back in the day is NOT to take a warm shower, your pores will just open up more and the fibers will just go in more...

The itchiness will disappear.

Hey put the link to the header wrap up so I can see what kind it is. I got some Thermotec but it was like 15ft for like 15 bux...
