Andrew thanks! :beer: also, re poP and iron, according to Steve Chastain, plaster of Paris is used commercially for insulative sprue and riser liners for iron, not iron foundry furnace linings. I wasn't suggesting that. I assume those are single use applications. Iron melting wasn't the intention from the start with this furnace -- non ferrous melting was the spec. Worked fine for that. I have my other furnace for iron. |

And Andrew, as for melting brass, see here and next few posts in this same poP furnace lining thread: https://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,10482.msg121017.html#msg121017 |

Form removed, lid is done. |
