Default Homemade Furnace Liner(also can be used in a fire pot)

4 gal. part fireclay
4 gal. grog
4 gal. silica sand
3 quarts of borax powder

Fireclay can be gotten at most fireplace stores, and lumber yards. Grog is crushed fire bricks. This is a key ingrediant, to eleminate shrinking, and cracking.

Mix thoroughly while dry.

Water should be sprinkled over the dry mixed ingredients while stirring, until mixed completely to a consistency that can be made into a ball in your fist that can be broken cleanly in two. When it is to that point, you should cover with plastic over night.

It will keep indefinatly in a sealed bucket.
