GIRtech FireCast Castable Refractory Cement Mix 3110 Degree Fahrenheit 10 Lbs High Temperature Heat Resistant Fireproof Mortar Build Repair Pizza Oven Fire Places Forge Kiln Stove

I tried another brand before this, and found them to be GRITTY and inconsistent with bonding and likely to be very weak in tension. Girtech, however, is very smooth, mixes well without voids, and really sets up hard (particularly if you use reinforcing framework) and strong. I would say that pound for pound, Girtech mixes more product volume. Unlike the competitor, Girtech has a second ingredient bag inside which must be mixed carefully. Sets up very hard and very strong quickly! Very smooth end result!

Used it to make a kiln. You may want to add more water than it says in the instructions. I also didn’t exactly follow its instructions for heat curing but did my best by slowly heating it. It has performed really well. Very strong, still uniform and no cracking. Heated to 2900 degrees and it didn’t care. Good stuff. I also ordered the 20lb bag and they sent me a 30lb bag. No complains here as I used it all.

I used this compound to make pedestals for crucibles in a propane foundry. I ran it twice at lower temps and the edges chipped a little but held up for the most part. The issue came when I ran the third time at higher temps, around 3000F, and it held up at first but as it cooled it developed a small crack, and I picked it up afterwards and it broke. I guess its not too bad for more normal temps (aluminum and brass) but for my application it wont do.

Used to repair liner in a wood boiler that was no longer available from the manufacturer. I used a heat lamp to cure after I cleaned and moistened the area. It has held up so far through more than a dozen burns with no problems. The minimum thickness you can form or cast is about 3/8” which is the size of some of the aggregate

Great product. Easy to work with

Difficult to mix and once dried, it cracked. I tried several different consistencies but still cracked. Not a top DIY pick. Maybe a pro would have better results

TERRIBLE product! DO NOT BUY!!!!!! The bag I received had holes in it, so when opening it dumped everywhere. After attempting to mix it with the awful instructions, it was not sticking to my forge at all, it was just falling off. It also set extremely fast which made it very hard to work with. Save your money and do not buy this product, look elsewhere.

fixed woodstove cracked cast iron door support Vermont castings saved wood stove from junk pile , even though door frozen now at fixed opening about right for my stove . brfore all the heat went up the chimney Been to 800 F multiple times no x changrs or cracks - tough stuff Follow directions exactly

Le colis est fidèle a la publicité et le temps de livraison est respectée . Merci

Like my headline says read the directions! We did not so sadly this product did not work for us.

Don’t even waste your time it’s actually the worst thing I’ve purchased. I think actual dirt with water would do better than this.

Si vous voulez faire adhérer des brique réfractaires ensemble ce n'est vraiment pas le bon produit il n'adhère pas bien vue le mélange qui est trop grossier je dû devoir tout défaire ce que fait sans compter le prix assez élevé du ciment vraiment déçu un gros 0 sur 10 peut être qu'il est bon pour faire des brique mais oas plus

Waste of money for me. Did not set. They put a sticker that doesn't peel over top of the mixing directions so you can't tell how much water to put and I obviously put too much. I would not buy again.
