Wet refractory mortar

Re: Wet refractory mortar

I used the wet on the vault with no concerns, but I would possibly hesitate if I were doing an igloo, but even then it is being silly cautious. Unless you envision serious deluge type rainfall often in your oven, it is not a problem.

Re: Wet refractory mortar

I wonder if the Wet mortar is a portion Liquid Glass, Sodium Silicate? I don't think it would be easy to get these mortars to fail once set and cured. I also feel that the oven really holds itself up. The dome is really self supporting as are the arches. I know that there is lateral thrust at the base of the dome and arches but I don't hear of failures due to this thrust.

In the end wet or dry, your choice.
