Thanks for watching!
how long do u let the refractory cement dry and when mixing the cement with water how should it look...bc what you made looks really good..
2:40 getting to the mix
Which Rutland refractory did you use? 211?
real intelligent how you start with adding more cement. then skip past physically mixing the cement. then jump right to look everybody it magically leaped on and finished itself. obviously the magic of editing your screw ups. so try showing the mortar mixing steps. oh wait it took you a month to figure out how to get it right. duh
You want to see me mixing the refractory powder with water?
Hi all. I am needing to know where did I go wrong. My furnace was Made with plaster Paris concrete and play sand. I just bought some of that same refractory cement but it was light brown, yellow all moles. I coded the inside of my furnace with the refractory cement. And during the drying the heat drying it started to bubble? So I thought that was normal. I’ll let it dry the rest of the night and throughout the next day until the next night. Then I fired it up to melt some copper last night and what a mess. It was crumbling so bad it was falling into my copper. Was it me or was it the refractory cement that I chose? Anybody🤓
Thank you for sharing, 👍👍👍
is this material good for a firewood oven and food safe?
It was a good choice going with a castable refractory and wool blanket instead of the homemade version. It'll last a lot longer. The homemade stuff is only good if you don't plan on doing very many melts and nothing hotter than aluminum temps. Turned out really nice.
I just ordered some .. we well see
For claying the bed of a forge how liong would it tale for 1/2" thick bed to cure? Idea for curing? Howd you get that 3" ref cem to cure so solud?
Great video. Where can I get in quantities? Home Depot and Lowe’s only carrying in small tubs
Phillijr
Go to Home Depot online and you can order it in larger quantities. They will ship it to your nearest store for free.
Did u say what the refractory is made of.
just wondering if anyone knows if this furnace can be left outside with a tarp over it when not in use? in ohio?
george orwell a garage or a shed or even a plastic tote would better
Is this made from Furnace/Stove cement?? I'm wondering if I can just use the Pre-mixed high temp Funace/Stove cement to make a fire brick.
Probably, but fire brick was pretty cheap in hardware stores.
Rich Ray yeah but don't need 6 bricks and they don't sell individual ones unfortunately. Plus I don't really want to spend any money lol I already have a full tub of it. Thanks for getting back to me, it Greatly appreciated!
Hi, did you add perlite to that mix?
Don't need to
