The problem is not with getting the things hot, the problem arises when
they cool back down. The hot air between the headers and the wrap (and
there will always be *some* air no matter how tight the wrap) the hot air
holds moisture. When it cools down, the moisture is released. Over time
this equals bad news.

Some people just abuse the privilege.
