DennisCA Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Is it even worth making a soft brick forge without it? Are there any decent european alternatives? If I cannot, is it worth even proceeding with a soft brick forge? Maybe I shouls instead aim for a more conventional forge using ceramic wool insulation. I can get this, SuperWool Xtra, which is non-cancerous even after heated up. I can also get rigdizer for it. It's rated for 2640 F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I was able to find this thread. Tinkertim might also be a good person to ask since he has made reference to a DIY wash (it might be the same zircopax/benonite mix given by MonkeyForge and others on the site, not sure). I don't know if a pile of brick forge is useless (for lack of a better term) without some sort of kiln wash applied, but expect not. If you plan to use flux, chances are it will eat SuperWool just like Kaowool so you'll still want to line it with a more durable castable refractory. Just my 2c, I'm no gas forge expert.
