Good enough for rifle suppressors?

No amount of anti seize will solve the different thermal expansion properties of different types of metals. I coat all my threads in anti seize. Still will get stuck if I let aluminum cool around stainless. Best thing is to do as mentioned above, let it cool a little and back everything off a little before it cools all the way.
For the uzi, Ive been thinking of wrapping a suppressor in high temp exhuast wrap. You could touch the can all day long if you wanted. Not only that, but Im willing to bet that the wrap will reduce anysort of resonate noise. Having a wrapped suppressor would also give it a sweet post apocalyptic look 
Here are are some headers I wrapped on one of my performance cars to get an ideal of what I intend to use.

Doesn't header wrap trap heat? That is the last thing you want to do is trap heat in a can. But it's your stuff.
Yeah it would trap heat. Why whould that be a problem?
Metals get weak when they get hot. trapping the heat in the can and not letting it dissipate is bad for the life of your can.
Let me guess how you figured that out... hard way?
My 3 lug mount and my FBM have battle scars on them from before I remembered the stuff I learned in that thermodynamics class i took.

Take that for example. If wrapped, instead of 900+ rounds, you will get the same effects but with only half of those rounds. Its like turning on your house heater with your space heater and covered in your blanket in your closed bedroom.
