I guess there are a variety of refractory insulations on the market such as "VERMICULITE" and "PERLITE" I was just told that there is another called "SHERLITE or SHERLIGHT" (Sorry I'm not exactly sure how you spell it.) I was told that it's made especially for the construction of wood fire ovens and the likes as opposed to "VERMICULITE" and "PERLITE" which was originally used as a fertilizing agent often found in nursery's. Apparently this "SHERLITE" works just as well as the other two mentioned and it's just a matter of mixing it with water until it reaches a toothpaste consistency. The bonus with "SHERLITE" I have been told is that it's so much easier to work with as opposed to "VERMICULITE or PERLITE"

My query is has anyone heard of this stuff called "SHERLITE" or better still has any one used it?

P.s. Sorry about not knowing the correct spelling Re: "SHERLITE"
