Default Oven Floor Question.

I used just the sand and fireclay in a dry mix per Dmun's advice and then wetted the brick to solidify. I used a 2 parts sand to 1 part fireclay mixture. Hope that will hold ok.....since I was not using any portland I was hesitant to use too much sand. Any concerns from the experts?

Thanks for the help....I just did not want to get buttoned up and find out this was not a good idea.

Sounds good to me. All you are doing is laying down a layer to level your bricks. Gravity will hold everything down.
