[TheForge] local source of ITC 100

[S. Pohlman]

I couldn't agree more I was using my forge un coated for quite a while 
before I read about how bad that is and how much difference the coating 
makes heat wise. At first I thought it was used just to reinforce the 
blanket structurally. then I read about how bad the particles are for 
you unless you seal it with the refractory.so there is a dual 
purpose.Chuck, most of the insulation I saw was rated at 2300 F  I will 
have to keep the stuff you found in mind next time I need some.    I 
have seen 4, 6, and 8 Lbs. density . 8 is the way to go.
thanks again to all of you guys. this site has ben the best resource  I 
have found yet.
