Ceramic Chip Forge
Charles
from a very nice chap.
With it came a bag of "ceramic chips" (in an old sack sealed with a
cable tie).
When I opened the bag today I thought that the chips looked rather
like the sweepings from a gravel drive rather than what I supposed
"ceramic chips" should look like. Are they supposed to look like that
(a bit like pea shingle but with less rounded shapes)
Thanks
Charles

Yes Charles, they are spectacularly unimpressive but vastly expensive
if bought from Flamefast (iirc £80 when I got mine about ten year ago)
Anyone know another source as mine are getting thin on the ground now?

Thanks Andrew. That's what I hoped would be said.
I'll give them a try

make some from refractory castable as I have 1600C and 1800C rated
castables. They cost about £25 and £50 per 25kg respectively but I
thought trying 5kg worth might be sufficient.

Mark it was YEARS ago so can't quote weight due to the death of grey
cells - it was just enough to fill the bowl of the ceramic chip
furnace, and supplied as Charles says in a sack tied up with a
Ty-Wrap. I would guess at about half a bucket full so perhaps a
gallon. They are extremely hard and resist crushing (just like pea
shingle!!!)

sorry about the thread resurrection but.....
Has any one found a cheap supplier of the ceramic chips?
thanks in advance John
