Insulating Refractory Installation

Now that we have that big (potentially) hot heater coil wrapped about our crucible, its time to give her some insulation to keep those precious BTUs where we want it – melting glass (or whatever else we may find ourselves melting with our new contraption – mooohahaha).

Alright, so now after carefully placing our crucible cart onto our vibrating table we clamped forms around the sides ready for filling. In all places where there was potential wood contact, we covered said wood with plastic bags to prevent it from adsorbing an unfair of moisture from the curing refractory.
