Re: Oven Curing
Hendo,
I agree entirely with the notes on keeping fresh concrete damp. This is particulaly true with refractories. When I poured the refractory slab (LaFarge Fondue and aggregate) for my oven, I bought a roll of burlap, covered the slab with it and kept it damp for about a week. This method adds strength and also retards shrinkage. Followed the same procedure with the cladding.
