Mixing Satinite

[Robison Blades]

Hi guys, long time reader first time poster.

Quick question, I bought a 5lb tub of satinite to line a forge lid I’m building but it didn’t come with any mixing instructions . If someone could let me know the good ratio to mix this stuff I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,
Eric

Of topic, but where in NE TX are you located.
Im in Yantis, on Lake Fork.
Just curious, as I have no forging buddies

Hey Eric, go here for some instruction:

I'll be doing this soon myself, pretty much mix with water to a creamy consistency and spritz the kaowool with water before applying. Good luck!

I live in just outside Dallas, but my forge is in Terrell.

Thanks for the link and tip Silent that’s about what I figured just wasn’t sure of what the consistency should be. Thanks again.

When applying the clay I've had good luck using surgical gloves and applying it with my hand instead of useing a trowel or a stick. Good idea to wear a long sleve shirt, you don't want the fibers in your skin.....
