 I am building a new propane forge body with 2" of ceramic blanket and plan on coating it with a layer of refractory. I have used Satinite before as a coating and it worked fine but this time I was going to use one of the products that I can get  locally at High Temp Inc in Portland. They carry Kast-O-Lite and Super 32 refractory cement. When I called High Temp the guy on the phone didn't think the Kast O lite would be a good product to use as a coating even though I have read on forums of people using it. So that is a little confusing to me. He also said he thought he remembered selling Super 32 cement to the NWBA for use on their forges.

 
   Has anyone used either of these products as a thin coating on a ceramic blanket, or know what is used on the gas forges in the mentoring center. They seem to be holding up ok the last time I saw them. 
   Thanks Frank

Dave Lisch designed those forges. He would know what coating was used. He doesn't frequent the forum much anymore, but his contact info in in the online roster. (Use the "resources" tab above.)

No matter where you go... there you are.

I have used Mazzou castable in the past with good success on a few gas forges. I don't know if that's what Dave used, but I have repaired one of his forges with Mazzou, and it looked about the same when done, and worked well.
