Gay Pickup Richmond Va.

pillars and supports for the furnace

The other day one of the teachers, while admiring one of his pieces glazed asked him how he had that beautiful enamel. ─
enamel is a 1280 º C. .. ─ replied. ─
Fiuuuu! and how the oven doing? because mine reaches 1260 º and then I do not think you ever achieve this enamel ...
─ In an oven that suffers a lot ...

Thinking about this and got no pillars of 5 cm high the other day, it had a lot of little things may have to make two batches instead of one, I decided to make supports and pillars for my toaster oven.

Here is the formula for refractories:

kaolin 50% 50%
chamotte medium
Water enough to form a paste that can work.

This mixture is used to make refractory to reach about 1250-1280 ° C. pillars, stalls and stands and even small pieces plates.

Here the steps to make small hand pillars:




With a kilo of kaolin and one chamotte made fourteen pillars, half of 6 cm. height and half of 4 cm high, gruesitos to withstand the weight of the upper plate seamless.
With as much I did (using various cookie cutters to make cookies) different media to support and protect each piece large plates oven.

The cake at 1040 º C and then gave them a bath (in case power is dripping off the piece) with the same I paint the plates. Rafael advised me this recipe, which builds the ovens:

Mix paint oven plates:

90% alumina or quartz
8% kaolin
2% bentonite (ie for unsettled both alumina)
Water enough to form a creamy liquid. Paint

three times allowing it to dry between coats for the first time, then every time you jump a bit, with just retouch enough.
