Outdoor gater Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ok, Last week I've started on the inside of fordge linings. 2 layers of 1" ceramic wool using sodium silacate as a adhesive on door wool. Then several applications of InsTuff rigidizer on wool. Then started with satanite refractory layers. I bought 10 lbs and I'm half way there. I've allready used 5 lbs I'm going to try and shoot for a 1/2" thick layer of refractory before I finish up with ITC - 100. Here’s a video of my first 30 minute cure burn. Before I did several 30 second then 1 min then several 5 minute burns between coats. I'm at 4th coating and still going, trying to get to 1/2" refractory wall thickness. Please let me know if my burners don't look right. I'm willing to learn. thanks Gator Down below is pic of another coating of refractory along with split brick floor. Have about 3lbs left of satanite refractory. So a few more coats before ITC 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latticino Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Can you explain why your door opening is taller than the opening of your forge? Normally I make them shorter to aid in keeping the heat in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both doors have one pin that's easy to remove. So one door for large work pieces and one for small work pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor gater Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Today, I used up the last little bit of satanite refractory I had left and now I'm over my 1hr mark on this burn. Playing with tank regulator, that is a 0 to 20 psi have it set around 12 psi also needle valve open about half. ALMOST READY FOR ITC - 100 AND THEN IT'S HAMMER TIME!! 20170125_203445.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
