What you will find is he is talking about Aerlcrete and Molochite, which can be used in refractory situations.

One of the key issues that you face with a pompeii oven, is the curve requires the adhesive to create a fillet, and these products are very poor in sheer, or repeated cycling of temperature. Consequently, most of the refractory cements (think KOS brand in the UK) are not suitable.

Who else have you spoken to about ceramic blanket..? Kitsons hold a large stock - I'm looking at pricing on the 50mmx64kg Cerawool products at the moment.

One thinG I have noticed is the high temp capability of this stuff, and do question whether you need it - most of the standard rockwool products will go to 500C, which is in excess of the temps expected outside the dome. I know you can 'harden' ceramic products, but to be honest, I'm not sure on the value vs the extra cost and finding suppliers. Happy to have it explained to me !

Cheers
