Since I'll have extra refractory from the initial order of the Mr. Volcano I was thinking about putting a layer of that on the board 1st followed by my final coating being the Plistix kilm wash?

Thanks for the help and reconendations!! It looks like the Morgan bricks are out of stock until October. It's sounds like Mikey recommended the BXI Ceramic Fiber Thermal Insulation board with a couple coats of Plistex as the floor? Since I'll be doing Plistex in the forge anyway maybe that's not a bad direction to go?? Would it make sense to try to use the fire bricks that came with the Mr. Volcano as my back/front walls and see if I can get a coat or two of Plistex on those also? Looks at like that board only comes 12x8 inches, my forge is 16 inches but I would think that would be plenty long enough for the floor?

Wouldn't I still want to have a sacrificial brick to protect the floor from welding flux?

I just took Frosty's advice and also ordered a Mr Volcano. I ordered the double burner Mr Volcano Hero 2. Where is the best place to order the Plistex 900 kiln wash from?

I assume the Plistex 900 kiln wash would go on last, after all of the other setup steps?

Thank you Frosty! I think I am leaning towards the two burner knowing that most of the time I will only need 1 burner unless maybe doing damascus or forge welding. I have filled in the location info in my account, I assume that is where you were talking about placing it? Jeff Burt Auburn CA

If I was looking to purchase a two or three burner forge, something that would be capable of doing forge welding and damascus and maybe swords down the road would the volcano two burner forge be a good forge or is there a better on let's say on amazon? I was originally thinking about building a three burner forge but for that price it might be quicker to order the two burner model?
