Legamin Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I use outer most a layer of aluminum oxide fire brick (home cast) then a lining of reflective 1/16th in. galvanized sheet steel, then rock wool saturated in Satanite. If I’m melting above 3850F I slip in a cladding of old thick (non-friable) asbestos house siding shingles from the 50’s. Same forge for 35 years!

Glenn Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 There are too many problems associated with asbestos. Please use another material for this application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 You do realize you're posting to a forum with people who actually know what's what? So you built a melter that has withstood 3,850 f temps for 35 years? You've been at it that long eh? Funny, I don't think I've ever known a caster who calls a melter a Forge and I've known casters since the mid 1960s. Even done a little. Frosty The Lucky.
