 Re: To Clad or To Not Clad
I just put a layer of heat stop 50 over my oven. It had some cracks (see pics) and I patched them with furnace cement. It seemed to be ok but I wanted to give the whole dome a bit more integrity. I used a 50 pound bag which really gave me about one half inch or less of a cladding. It's as hard as a rock but only a full fire will tell if it cracks like a hard boiled eggshell! I really don't know if I needed this but I think it will (or may) stop some movement. I hope I didn't waste my time (or money) but I'd like to think it's a bit of insurance against further cracking after the dome gets a watertight 'house' built around it.
