I talked with tech support and while he wasn't too concerned about the roughness off the insulation he did agree the insulation needs to be "shaved" to a uniform depth to assure proper deflector distances.

Tyco may have information from original test series. Sometimes some of conditions are to meet extreme distance or a minimum available pressure. While I'd repeat that Tyco's comments would apply to this particular project only, could you post?
