[TheForge] Chip forge

[Mike Porter]

Dave,
Zircar is the original source for many of my favorite things. Unfortunately, 
they don't care to deal with the general public. Not that they'll just say 
no, but I've found their pricing discouraging in the past. You will do well 
to use their site for information gathering about products, and then try to 
find a retailer for the products. Their bubble alumina refractory makes a 
good example of the process.

You can find it in convenient amounts from:
Ellis Custom Knifeworks, Knoxville, TN. Tel: 1-865-660-5280 Home page: 
http://refractory.elliscustomknifeworks.com/  Products page: 
Refractory.EllisCustomKnifeworks.com Email: Darren at EllisCustomKnifeworks.com 
They carry a wide selection of Refractory supplies including: Bubble 
alumina; 8# Inswool ceramic fiber blanket in one & two inch thickness; soft 
(insulating) firebricks; Satanite, ITC-100, and ITC-213   in small 
quantities; Sairbond & Satinite refractory mortars; and Mizzou 3000° F, High 
Alumina Castable Refractory (especially flux resistant). Their prices are 
reasonable, and they have packaged the products in a rational manner for 
USPS shipping.


Here is another seller who retails Zircar Porducts with reasonable mark-ups:
http://stores.ebay.com/HIGH-TEMP-REFRACTORY-STORE The High-Temp Refractory 
Store is an Ebay retail source for small amounts of Thermal Ceramics 
products at reasonable prices. What makes this source valuable is that 
Thermal Ceramics products are cutting edge, but they do not like to bother 
with small retail sales.
