OMG - You can buy AEROGEL from these people!!! Even if I can only get small chunks, I still may buy some (I am not sure what you could do with the granular stuff)

Use it to make one hell of a thermos.

See, I was trying to find what needed to be done to turn the granular material into a "solid" piece. Since the melting temperature of the material is 2,200 degrees F, I am hoping there is some way to make it a solid without using heat.

Nope, I don't think it can be done. Even if you could heat it to melting, you would ruin all the properties that make it special and just end up with a lump of silicates (which by the way I can acquire for you at a much cheaper price).
