Why You Should Coat Your Kaowool Forge [ And How To Do It ]

Kaowool is often used as insulation for a forge. It is a great material but can be dangerous if precautions are not taken. That is why I explain some of the potential health effects of Kaowool, and how to mitigate them.

So i was going to use some refractory cement, but my biggest gripe with it is, i dont want the weight of what basically equates to a big block of loose cement wearing down the ceramic through movement. Using a thicker layer of cement of course

[@backyardfoundry]

So far I havent noticed any damage or change to the ceramic after having put the cement on. I did rigidize it, so I am not sure how non rigidized wool world work.

[@thebroomisinmyhand]

is a rigidizer absolutely needed?

[@backyardfoundry]

If you are going to coat the wool with a layer of cement or another compound I would recommend it cause it gives extra structure to the cement. But I used the forge for a while with un-hardened wool and it works just fine. (if potentially more dangerous)

I'm also a fan
But also a fan of 💩
Or things that feel like it in my hand or underwear 🤔

[@brianthwaites2397]

I put a dislike because you called it a forge when you use it to melt metal. You melt metal in furnace and the place you melt and cast it is a foundry. A forge is a facility for shaping hot metal heated in a furnace usually by hammering it to the desired shape. The furnace or fire as we called them is not the forge. (I workd at a forgemaster in Sheffield UK)

[@backyardfoundry]

Fair enough. I gotta dig deeper into my wording haha.

[@theidiotfarmers8832]

You could do all 3 with this. Flip it on its side and put a long firebrick in - it’s a forge. On its bottom with a crucible - it’s a foundary/furnace.

[@Saeiane777]

I put a dislike because your comments are pedantic and I hope you've grown as a person
