It's definitely the cheapest option I can think of, and the clay is eaiser to source than ceramic blankets or 'real' refractory cement. Plus the guy on that forum seems to swear by it and he seems to know his stuff. I figure it could be interesting if it works out since aside from that guy i've never heard of anyone else trying it out. It could also be a total failure but at least it'll rule it out as a viable option. |

Top marks for the video :bow: :bow: :thumbup: , I can imagine that it will have took as much time editing and filming as the project so thanks for going to the effort, I had seen Eric Things forge years back and thought it looked to do the job of heating sheet well so hope it ends up working as well for you . Cheere Mick. |
