Wilson 36291 Welding Blanket
The Wilson 36291 is a welding protection blanket made from uncoated silica cloth. It measures six feet by six feet and is rated at eighteen ounces. The blanket is intended for professional welders and fabrication shops that need a large, heat-resistant barrier during hot work. It is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Thermals and power draw
The silica cloth construction withstands high temperatures generated by welding arcs and molten spatter. Being a passive fabric barrier, it draws no electrical power and produces no operational noise. The material does not burn or melt under normal welding conditions, maintaining its protective integrity throughout the job.
Build fit and clearance
The six-by-six-foot dimensions cover a broad work area, reducing the need for multiple overlapping blankets. Its flexible, uncoated fabric drapes easily over equipment, scaffolding or floor surfaces without rigid framing. The blanket is not suited for applications requiring a coated surface, oil resistance or a smaller, pre-cut shape for tight enclosures.

Questions about this item
How do I hang the 6 ft by 6 ft silica cloth blanket so it stays in place during overhead welding?
Use the grommets along the edges with wire or chains rated for the blanket weight; the common mistake is tying only the corners, which lets the centre sag into the weld zone.
What upkeep does the uncoated silica cloth need after repeated high-heat exposure?
Shake off loose spatter after each use and inspect for brittle fibres; once the cloth feels stiff or shows white powdery residue it has lost flexibility and should be replaced.
At what point does the 18 oz silica fabric stop protecting the workpiece during a long continuous weld?
The blanket handles short bursts well, but during sustained arcs the surface temperature climbs until the silica begins to glow; that glow signals the thermal limit has been reached.
