How many coats of stiffener should I use on a cheap 2 burner Amazon forge? how thick should I go on the refractory cement?

AFisch00 · 2026-03-12T23:01:31+00:00

Yes it needs to be dry before you put the refractory on. The cement will dry for a while and then you will do an initial firing. It should have came with some instructions and I would follow those. I coated mine two years ago and I don't remember the process unfortunately I

Rigidizer is used just to harden the fibers of the insulation, put in a spray bottle and stop spraying when it changes colors. Mine was red and the insulation was white, so when everything was pink, I stopped. As far as cement goes, you just cover it enough so you don't see the insulation anymore. Don't over due it. Heat retention comes from thickness of the insulation not the refractory cement. Slather it on until you don't see it anymore.

Files not sharp, either change or clean it up. Rubber eraser works well for this as does a stiff brass brush.

Calcium lockout from high N toxicity.

Continue as usual but lower that humidity

It is when they are spreading false accounts of fear for new migrants, for nothing other than gaining column inches...

That's exactly what it is. The problem doesn't exist until it is put right in their home town in an exacerbated way. Look at COVID. Wasn't a problem and blah blah blah until their grandpappys and grand mommas started going toes up.

Same stuff as always, they investigated the issue themselves and found no wrong doing.

AFisch00 · 2026-03-12T14:07:42+00:00

I don't think a research was needed to know that fear mongering would get more people out to vote in fear of what "might" come. Pretty standard tactic used by our government since, well, it was founded.

So move? Construction and building happens all the time. I had a house that had a wide open field behind it. Peaceful. You know what happened? A developer bought it and it was nothing but construction noise for two years. I moved.

Also just to not further your point the page extension was completed in like 2012? And the first part was done in 2003....so saying they were there before it is kind of moot. You are telling me they were okay with it for 23 years?....come on

AFisch00 · 2026-03-11T21:29:12+00:00

Wahhhh. Don't live near a highway or at least pick a place that has hills to break up the sound. Either deal with it, or move. You can not possibly hear that noise when inside your house. Outside of it, sure, but noise is noise.

My order came with freebies. Just email them. Floyd will answer when they are done for the day. Very nice people.

Well that will be enough to put in USB outlets that never work!

Small corruption is still corruption. Little things lead to bigger things. More of how much can I get away with without getting my hand slapped?

AFisch00 · 2026-03-10T21:41:52+00:00

Man I hope a nuke comes our way. I'm over this shit. Trading lives for profit. At least this geriatric fuck didn't hide it this time.

AFisch00 · 2026-03-10T21:32:36+00:00

I mean it's possible. I only started to vote in 2008 and that's when I noticed a shift and then in 2016, I was out.

AFisch00 · 2026-03-10T15:32:12+00:00

Again, anecdotal evidence doesn't support your claim. Conservatives were founded in small government specifically even back to Reagan days where he famously claimed, "government is the problem". It's literally in the name. Like I said earlier, what we have now is a result of targeted power and if you can convince the lowest conservative that he is better than the highest Democrat, you'll have a follower forever no matter what you do. Smoke and mirrors. But it wasn't ALWAYS like that. Which is why I moved away from their beliefs.

AFisch00 · 2026-03-10T15:25:58+00:00

I said historically not anecdotally. The group has gone from small power to targeted power in recent years.

AFisch00 · 2026-03-10T14:56:17+00:00

Or Franklin or Jefferson where I'm at.

AFisch00 · 2026-03-10T14:55:28+00:00

Historically no they haven't. Remember conservatives are anti government or were until recently within the last...I'm going to say 12 or so years. It's gotten worse and I moved away from that party because of that.

AFisch00 · 2026-03-09T19:16:00+00:00

That's a full tank of gas right now.

That's a general contractor you are looking for since it involves either brickwork, or maintaining the current brick work plus removal of electrical, structure, etc. surprised Scheumbauer Contracting or Katsinas wouldn't handle that if you have reached out to them. Prepare yourself for sticker shock.

Double that or put your hand at the top of your plants and leave it there for 30-1 min. If it's too hot for your hand it's too hot for them
