Today was my first working day of the week, But ive been pretty sick over the weekend and not feeling quite right either. Been checking back here after falling asleep in front of Austar all morning on and off :\

yea...buying in small packets is not wise.

We have a local monthly farmers market that sells alot of feed and supplies that I could check out, Do you have the Product name by any chance?

I love this site :)

Thanks for that, Im heading over to Geelong next week to get some PC parts, Ill stop off and get a bag on my way.

Darley Refractories is who I was going to use for my refractory supplier, I found their website the other week.

Which set did you use? Litecrete around the outer of the drum for insulation and then some Densecrete for main refractory?

Artie:
They have a product called Ceramic Fibre (wool sheet) to insulate and Denscrete 145. The new one will have Denscrete 150 or 155. That will give me an increased margin should I ever decide to do cast iron.... (unlikely though).

guerd87:
Awsome, thanks for all your help.  Now I have more knowledge I can start building this thing!

Ive got some prices from Darley and going that I just want to do Alloy they recommended these items

Ceramic Fibre rated to 1200c - $132 per roll (they dont sell small rolls, only a large roll 7m long) How thick of a lining did you put in your foundry? Did you use much of a roll? Its alot of money to spend out first off thats all :\
Denscrete 145 castable - $49.50 for a 25kg bag

I just contacted Volcla about the clay. They dont have resellers anywhere, they are the only distributors. They can either ship it out to me for around $40 or I can pick it up directly. $1 per kg with no minimum order.
