Fellow Clayarters--

Anyone willing to share recipes for insulating castables? I'm looking for
a castable to use in construction of a high-fire (cone 10/11) kiln. Tips
on mixing and using also appreciated...

Thanks-- Mary

Mary -

Check out the following site. It has a pretty good step-by-step
description of the construction of a catenary-arch kiln from castable
refractories. Including recipes and photos
