Yes you can.  The radiant heat is a killer for composite cowls.  I saw a cowl done
completely in 3" foil tape.  It looked great!  Especially since all the tape lines
were parallel and trimmed.  I believe epoxy was used with the adhesive on the back of
the tape when it was applied.   This will have to be done on the plane I am building.
