I don't wrap them, since the overall heater block is smaller there is less heat dwell from the block and this helps plastic cooling. One of the reasons blocks are wrapped is heat dwell. Where the heater block is so big and hot it can actually melt the plastic from radiated heat or at least keep it softer than it should be.

But you can wrap them if you want.

Good to know - I would prefer not to wrap them if I can get away with it. It's a PIA.
