For my boiler's smoke bonnets surface area, I like using "Dip Lag" the best. There is no substitute for Dip Lag. It is just that good. For a single walled smoke bonnet, I would use three layers of Dip Lag on the surface. For a double walled smoke bonnet, two layers of Dip Lag works best. Inside surface of the coffin nosed hood, I find that two layers of your 1/8" Fiberfrax insulating board works well. I glue the insulating board to the inside of the hood using Weldwood Contact cement. It takes a lot of work to correctly repaint the coffin nosed hood of a Stanley. Insulate under the hood properly and you won't have to repaint the hood too soon.
