we've talked a little on the use of Graphite for the floor
when welding so the flux won't eat it up.
is there any reason other than expense you can't use the graphite
for the walls and roof?
maybe a big piece cut out to form the whole lining?
I need to reline my Gas job and may go that way to try it out..
any input?? pro's and con's?

those of you that have tried it on the floor ,,,is it holding up?

I'm wondering if the heat
will break it down
give off fumes
be britle under heat
or other unforseens...
 
What kind of graphite, surely not the composite. doesn't the fiber just burn?

I was trying to find KAOWOOL safety info on the net, but their main site doesn't seem to link back to that stuff. I found some PDF pages in a google search, and they make all kinds of refractory products, including cements with kaowool built right in, they come in buckets like drywall compound, or caulking tubes. I wonder what that would be like?
