question about kiln material
« on: January 16, 2012, 08:59:00 AM »
Been wanting to make a small kiln for a while but haven't sprung for the materials.  I realized that I do have some earthwool 1000 degree pipe insulation.  I am wondering if that would be sufficient, as I see most use something suitable for 1500 degree?

Troy, are you asking about making a forge?
I'm just over in Watseka if you need some help.

Yes, after sending my message I realized I meant forge for simple annealing.

The 1000 degree won't work.
Why not just build a forge for performing all processes?

Well guess I'll have to do just that.  Was just curious about the stuff I already had.
Thanks
