a day in the back yard
#7
I have searchd for commertial castable refractory, but refuse to pay $60 and up per bag and then $120 per bag shipping. I can drive to Asheville, NC in an hour and 30 min, pick up a couple of bags of good fireclay, have a very good meal and drive back home for less than half that.
It's all well and good to advise someone to go with commertial products, and if this wasn't a hobby persuit, and I had bottomless pockets I probably would. But then I'd probably have other hobbies like wild women, Elk hunting or Bonefishing, and not have time for foundry activities.

The difficult takes me a while, the impossible takes a little longer.
