Hi All,
What can you do to reuse crusty IFB's? How clean do they have to be to =
remortar them? Is there and equivalent to surface bonding cement? (dry =
stack them crusty and trowel some fiber reinforced refractory cement =
on?) This is for a dividing wall (nonbearing). It just seems like I'll =
end up losing alot of brick if I try to clean them too tight. Any =
experience out there?
TIA,
Ben
