[TheForge] Sidearm Burner Parts - ceramic nozzle

[Cameron Stoker]

I've been curious about a castable ceramic product I've seen at 
mcmastercarr.com. They have several grades available, here is the part 
number for an alumina castable ceramic: 8498K35

They claim it is a room temp hardening dimensionally stable ceramic, 
good to 3000 F. Sounds almost too good to be true, but maybe not at 
$8.50 /lb.  Still you could make a lot of burner flares with 10 pounds 
of the stuff. Anyone have any experience with this (or similar stuff) ?
