Would love some pointers how to insulate this jumble of near boiler pipes

It was easy mitering the insulation and even scooping out some, so the Ts and the elbows fit but further down on the mains. But last night I got into insulating near boiler piping and it is going really really slow.
I got to this spot (in the picture) and I am kind of stumped. These are 2" pipes and because of tight angles, I don't see how I can do even half decent job. Do I just take whole bunch of r30 fiberglass and wrap it with cheesecloth and then slather mastic on it?

That's gonna be your best bet. Just do the U-bend as one fitting and keep on going.0
