forge coating tool

[Dr.O]

Not sure if this has been invented or not, but I made one to coat the inside of my new forge with satanite. I will also use it for the ITC100.

Here a picture is worth a thousand words. Chuck it in the hand drill and bingo.

3 zip ties, two paint brushes, and some quarter inch rod.

It really made the coating go on smooth, the ripples you see in the photo are from the blanket not the satainite.

I may just do another thin layer on my little forge. I have everything needed.

I fixed a toilet brush onto an 12" piece of hex rod to accomplish the same. The toilet brush is the stiffest I could find. Most of the bottle brushes were too soft to work right.

Be a mensch....use your hand

Veterinary rectal exam gloves are great if using your hand. If you don't happen to have them laying around, a pair of long cuff bathroom cleaning gloves will work.

Satanite is pretty tough on the skin, so wash any that gets on you off as soon as possible. A good hand cream later on is a good idea, too.
