I am assembling a Premio 2G. After dome was assembled and mortared, I waited two days before starting curing. I am curing the oven before putting on any insulation so its important to note that nothing has touched these oven walls except the FB mortar that was put on 4 days ago. I have an enclosed tent around the oven so no rain water has come near the oven either.
After reading a gazzilion curing thread, I am going slow and steady with the curing process. For the first two full day, I used a continuously running space heater to work my way up from ~80F to ~150 F (as measured at top of dome and the floor). The outside walls of the dome peaked at high 90s. There was no resting period during these two days (i.e. space heater ran non-stop). After about two days, I noticed a few "wet" spots appear inside the oven. The marks appear oily but are not oily to touch. If it is water, I am not sure where it is coming from. Two of the spots are near a joint but the one by the oven entrance are no where near any joint. These spots do not appear on the outside of the oven.
Has anyone seen this with either the FB modular kits or their own builds? Any suggestions on what to do?
