Re: Gaps inside dome !!!
Gudday
Yes I built on a ply form and after burning out found gapes.
Asked the forum crawled in the oven with piping bag of mortar
And filled a few (on the fire side just in case). And after a while that mortar just fell out . Havn't worried about it since

Re: Gaps inside dome !!!
Make sure that there is enough moisture in the bricks before tuck pointing, especially if you've already had a fire. You need the mortar to bind well with the brick, which could be difficult if your brickwork is now dry on the inside. Again - pics would be helpful.Leave a comment:

See my build in my signature, I had lots of gaps from using forms. Tuck pointed them, oven is fine after six years of heavy use!Leave a comment:

Gaps inside dome !!!
Hey guys,
I have been reading your threads for months, and never thought I would be 'threading' myself.
Here goes....I made my dome using multiple vains of 2 ply wood for a form. When I removed(burnt) the form out yesterday I was horrified to see that on the fourth and fifth brick layer from the top I have many (many) wedge gaps with a base of approx 30mm .
What to do ? Proceed with insulaton(3 inch) wrap? Or heartbreakingly de-construct the dome ?
The dome looks sound. What will the consequence be if I proceed from here ?
Has anyone had a similar situation?
Thanks in anticipation.
