Hamon line ignoring clay on W2?

[Josh Rider]

I've done a couple hamon blades, 1095, but always in my forge, and I'm not terribly worried about getting forge dirty. To the guys that heat ttrea in their oven, how do you keep the refractory cement from getting all over your heatreat oven? Sorry to hijack the thread.

The satanite stays on the blade when it’s dry. I still put the blade spine down on a ceramic square with rods holding it up.

Copy. In the forge, it puffs and bubbles up. I might be putting it on too thick. Then flakes off all over the place. Thanks dude

Yeah you want it thin and dry.
