I'll apologize in advance for this question, but why do you tap the anvil every so often?

There is no way to hold up a flat blanket across a flat roof that size. At forge temperatures, any hardware will be gone it no time. In large fores we used blanket that was pleated tightly. We put 1/8 inch SS tig rod through some of the pleats and tied then through the wall, expanded metal makes a good wall for this.

The forge is 900 cu.in., about 15" long, 6" high and 10" wide. I am not sure how stiff the refractory wool is, but would the wool and a coating of ITC-100 be enough to hold the wool to the bottom and sides? I think I will just use some hardware to secure the top.

I have a square body forge and I want to line it with SuperWool 607, but need a way to bond this to the walls of the forge. Has anyone used a refractory cement or bonding agent which would allow me to do this? Would anyone recommend just using bolts tapped into the steel to secure the wool?

Would this work-
