MLMartin Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 so whats your favorite coating for durablanket-kaowl? where do you buy it? how thick of a coating will you paste on? I have constructed a small gas forge, single T rex stile burner, 8" OD pipe, 16" long. good 1 1/2" to 2" kawol liner. hard kiln shelf plate floor. i placed the burner in the side and i can see the fire spinning like it should. works alright, but next time i make a forge i think ill have the burners on top and have them point straight down and just have the burners bent to help keep the heat from rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Kelley Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I get my forge materials from Darren Ellis Ellis Custom Knifeworks. His prices are as good as any and his customer service is top notch. I put a 3/8" layer of mizzou in the bottom of both my vertical and horizontal forges for flux resistance and resistance to mechanical damage. Then I coat the inswool with a couple of thick coats of satanite and follow that up with ITC-100 for improved heat reflection. Other people use other coating but this combination works fine for me. Read through Darren's FAQ section for more info. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
