Just to make sure i understand, I'll finish the perlcrete tomorrow. Then while I wait a week for that to dry I can start rendering the brick gallery (no perlite there). By the end of the week both the perlcrete on the dome and the render over the gallery should be dry enough to start the gentle drying fires. Once that is done, then I can render the dome.
Edit 9/4/2022: Never mind my previous question about firing the oven while the render is drying: I found a response on another forum from a member I think is David S. that states the following (with my emphasis) : "I also like to wrap the outer render layer in cling wrap for a week before using the oven because anything made from calcium silicate cement will be enhanced by extended damp curing, usually a week is standard." so I've adjusted my dates accordingly.
Pizza date is now 9/24/2022.
Edit 9/4/2022: Perlcrete over the dome is done!
