My Insblock 19 got wet

[ThermoJax]

The storm was coming and we hadn't had rain in quite some time, so I wasn't prepared. I have a 4 inch concrete pad with 2 inches of insblock19 on top of it and then my floor and walls in progress. The storm was mighty and big. I quickly put a piece of plywood on top of course 7 and then a tarp, I followed with another tarp, only to find the next day that something had failed and my 2 inch insblock19 had been saturated, at least at the edges by water. The build is 3/4 over. Should I pull the plug? My gut says screw it. Go with it and any water trapped will work its way out during firings. What say you?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

I left some block out all winter with weight on top of it as a test. When it dried it was in good shape - keep going.

Yes, insblock19 is good stuff. My oven was semi-exposed all winter with no degradation of the insulation layer at all.
