Hi Paul

it may be a spray/pour on type such as polyurethane (too hot in this instance), and I think there was a bit of work done with cementitious vermiculite. I have used guns for spraying insulating refractory in furnaces but it makes one helluva mess.
If you want to guarantee a pipe leak, cover it with non-removeable insulation.

So perhaps your troll is not.

Cheers

Paint-on coatings as a replacement for insulation?

I think what we have here folks is a troll.
