Ivy,

    Make a thick paste out of casting investment and use this as a
    shield. Let it dry for about ten minutes and go for it. This has
    worked for me much better than the kool jool type stuff. This works
    under the premise that cz can take the heat of casting in place. The
    cz has to warm up slowly and cool slowly and the investment slows the
    transfer of heat. Try it, it's saved my rear more than once.
