Hi Rob - I note that you said that you used 10 bags of refractory and I'm curious as to the size of those bags. I spoke to one of the foundry suppliers and was told that a 25Kg bag of 1600*C refractory was just under $100.00. I asked how far a 25Kg bag goes and was told that he didn't know! So I am hoping that you are going to tell me they only had 2.5Kg bags and that is why you needed 10. Otherwise, I may have to use some home made stuff to do the bulk and then maybe use the real stuff for a hard face. I've read numerous recipes for home made stuff and there are so many variables - each with an equal number of people saying it is the best, the worse or it simply wont work... |
