I hadn't yet in that in that photo, but now it has a coat of satanite which now I wish I had used kast-o-lite 30 after learning satanite absorbs heat. Which brings me to my next question will ITC-100 cut down on the amount of heat absorbed by the satanite?

Hey Guys, I appreciate all the info! I don't know why I didn't get into this trade earlier. Its been a blast so far, but you know how it goes when you're learning something new and begin having these "brilliant ideas" then realize down the road theres a good reason why professionals don't do it. Thats half the fun though while you're learning. However, just because redneck engineering runs in my veins doesn't mean I want to make a costly mistake. Frosty I know what you mean after I finished this last forge I learned alot so naturally I see things I would've liked to change. Plus my brother-in-law works for Penhall and brought be a huge concrete hole saw (14" diameter x 18"-20" deep) Oh well though once I wear this one out I'll eventually get to put it to use.

Quick question about ceramic insulation. Is it a bad idea to compress kaowool as to put more layers in your forge.

Could you explain a little as to why? If thats the case though Im going to be a little upset with the owner of hightemptools.com, because I specifically ask him that question. He told me that I wouldn't need rigidizer & to dampen the inswool with mist spray bottle, mix the satanite to about sour cream consistency & then bush on. He said the satanite would stabilize the inswool. Thanks Again!

Awesome I'll dry up the moisture then I plan on putting on a coat of satanite followed with ITC. I really appreciate the help guys, thank yall much!

Okay, What happened is that I was building my forge 3-4 months ago, but hadn't had much time to work on it since I started working overtime, but before that I had already cut my shapes and left them on top of my deepfreeze to keep them out of the way. Well I finally got the time to start back & went to get it off the freezer. I noticed a large puddle underneath and could feel the water that soaked into the material. It evidently was doing some extra insulating for my freezer.

G'Day All! After looking all over the internet & not finding squat; as my last effort Im hoping someone could educate me. Does anyone know if water will ruin ceramic insulation? Thanks, Chad Thrower
