When I had just Kaowool lining my forge I couldn't seem to get it very 
hot. As soon as I replaced the inner layer with Durablanket (hope that's 
the right name- a pal gave me some...) the effective temp went way up, 
and the color of the inner surface of the forge went from light orange 
to yellow.
When I painted on the plistix layer, it went to a white color and forge 
welding became a snap. Things heat up much faster, too.
Odd thing is, sometimes I get a green flame and have to back off and let 
it cool. Wonder what that could be about?

I have KAOWOOL sealed up w/SATANITE and I get my forge to a bright yellow
temp in less than 5 min. Been that way for years..
