I’m looking for input from the FlyHusky brain trust regarding baffle seal material. I’ve always been skeptical of the ‘typical’ material used for baffle seals. It always seemed too rigid and prone to further hardening over time. There must be good reasons for that material being used as it‘s rather ubiquitous, but I’ve used other material with what appears to be good results. My Bonanza has a Beryl D’Shannon system that uses a much softer silicone material that’s molded to the contours of the mating surfaces. It feels so flexible you’d think it wouldn’t stand up, but its nearly perfect after 21 years.
I also have some recent experience with the McFarlane Cowl Saver product. Also a softer silicone product but not molded and a bit more rigid than the BDS product. It comes in a roll and is cut to length and shape like conventional material. I just had it installed in my Acrosport and it made a very noticeable difference.
Anyone have experience with these or similar products on their Husky? Any recommendations?
