[TheForge] Fireclay lining

Sun Nov 24 00:27:00 2002

To All,
I purchased a small rivet forge several years ago and it says right in the 
casting to line it with fireclay.  Fireclay is available from most any 
masonary supply center and should be mixed 1/3 clay, 1/3 portland cement and 
1/3 sand or so says one opinion that was given to me.  I just have not had 
the time to try it.  I probably going to go with 1/3 clay and 2/3 "sacrete" 
for my first shot at it.
By the way mine is cracked probably from it not being lined at some point in 
time.
