Useful life of a refractory glass cloth gap filler is increased by coating it with a suspension of silicon carbide in butanol and polyethylene. Coating is applied to the refractory filler that seals gaps between insulating tiles on the Space Shuttle orbiter. Silicon carbide coating prevents embrittlement at high temperatures such as those encountered on reentry into Earth's atmosphere.
