What is Satinite?
The Satanite is a refractory cement that insulates the surface of the wool, this keeping more of the heat in the chamber ( it does not reflect or absorb, just insulate). The ITC-100 is a highly heat reflective coating that greatly reduces the heat loss.
Do you add sand to refractory cement?
Put dry gravel and sand on a thin metal or plastic sheet, or on a clean concrete surface in an area you can make a bit dirty. (Be sure to clean the area and tools with water after working with cement.) Add the cement and lime on top of the gravel and sand.
How do you Rigidize Kaowool?
Kaowool Rigidizer is applied by brushing, dipping, rolling, and spraying. Suitable respiratory protection and ventilation are required when applied by spraying. Materials to be rigidized should be free of all grease and oil. Kaowool Rigidizer receives its bonding action from the removal of physical water.
How thick should refractory cement be?
Refractory mortar and wood fired ovens In building high quality oven, refractory mortar should be used in only up to ¼” (6mm) thick application. That’s the general rule but there are 2 or 3 exceptions. Mortar only assists in forming firing chamber and logically shouldn’t be used or left exposed on the hot-face.
