Pipe Insulation

Got all the stuff to insulate but need some direction on insulating the new near boiler piping with all it's twists and turns. Not real good with puzzles so I am wondering if there is a video somewhere in the archives or on line that I can follow. Thanks.

    These guys do a pretty good one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1X5QBudVO4
    Basically, you do all the straight sections, holding back from the corners the appropriate amount then go back and fit corners a Tees

    This video is the best one, take your time, buy 1" thick insulation and the corresponding corners and T's, I find the tack to be really helpful and make the corner easy, just be patient. I also really like the knife they sell to cut the insulation, make the cutting easier.
