R-Max is rather hard to ignite until you put bi-filament tape on it. The tape ignites easily and works as quite the accelerant. I recommend taping your edges with metal tape and also covering your bi-filament with it after you assemble the yurt. Besides adding fire protection, it also provides some UV protection to the tape and looks really cool.
