Insulation material advice
John Stevenson:
We used to use some stuff on the hot foil presses from RS, just looked but it's out of stock until May.
Perhaps you can source some from somewhere else ?

Joules:
See if this stuff fits the bill. Its fairly cheap in comparison to other alternatives.

awemawson:
From Rob's original post I'm assuming the insulation needs to transmit the 80 kg force so needs to be incompressible so blanket type insulation isn't going to fit the bill?
bp:
I would be tempted to try a couple of sheets of MDF, after all 200 degrees isn't that hot really. If it chars, oh dear what a pity, get another piece. Probably got some floating around in the shed.............
cheers

NeoTech:
Most welding presses i have seen dont have an insulator actually, they just go with thicker material so the heat rather stay in the material. Of course dissipation into the pressing plates will happen either way but not as fast.
