Everbuild – XL Fire Cement – Ready Mixed – Resistant to Temperatures Up to 1250˚C – Buff – 5kg

Does what it says on the tub , easy to apply and works well.

This is the 2nd one I bought so highly recommend There is very little mess as it’s already mixed so very easy to use, I must add that you do need to wet the surface first and add a very small amount of water when using. Colour is great and the container is airtight so if you don’t use it all at once you can keep it remaining aside. It’s so durable, I have used my fire place several times since using this product so I highly recommend

I've bought lots of this stuff (eight or ten large pots). I'm building a fire pit in the garden so I've used it for the fire bricks to ensure it's up to the temperature. Rather that being like mortar it has the consistency of putty so it's difficult to work with tidily. If you wet your tools it's less likely to stick to them and it does seem to make it less viscous. Then again I'm not a bricklayer so that may be down to me. The other issue is that it dries through evaporation (rather than a chemical reaction which is what cement does) so it can take a long time to dry, especially in lower temperatures and in areas such as between bricks in a circle where these is a segment shaped section of mortar. Effectively, thick sections take a long time to dry, weeks or more. Then there is a curing process that involves gradually increasing the temperature over hours, which may not work with a fire lit in direct contact with it so I may have to do a curing burn with the fire in a metal bowl held away from the surface.

Really good quality & very good price compared with what can be obtained locally. Like others the tub was burst on arrival but had been wrapped by Royal mail in a polythene bag which stopped any drying of the material. Good service both by the supplier & Royal mail.

I found it stodgy to use

I bought this back in July 2023, only 10kg for a outdoor fire pit so I applied a pretty thin layer on the inside, it was exposed to rain, people pushing against it aswell as pretty extreme heat and several colonies of ants, lasted about a year which honestly wasn't bad considering the beating it took. Just used 40kg of it more thoroughly this time so I'll give an update on how it holds up. I would recommend adding a splash of water to it before using, as it can be a bit thick to spread around

I made a mini furnace from helium cylinder, and lined it with ceramic fireproof thermal wool (25mm thick). I then used the fire cement to go over the top of that for a nice hard smooth finish. All was well, using water on my hands to make the cement more pliable, like a clay. I gave it the required heat to harden. Unfortunately the "looseness" of the wool just provides too much movement and the cement cracks and then falls away after just one firing. I am happy to hear of any other suggestions aout how i can keep the stuff to stay on the wool.

Really sturdy pot, keeps the cement useable for absolutely ages if you reseal the lid properly. Nice consistency too, easy to work when you're up to your elbow in pipe bend.

Per quanto mi riguarda non mi ha dato il risultato per cui l'avevo acquistato. Dovevo incollare dei mattoni refrattari per il camino, ma non i soliti mattoncini bianchi o rosati ma mattoni di basalto nero-grigio, per capirci quelli di origine vulcanica. Ho messo i mattoncini a mollo nell'acqua tutta la notte per avere una migliore presa, poi l'indomani li ho incollati bagnandoli ulteriormente prima di applicare circa 1 cm di colla fire cement. Ho acceso il camino poco per volta con piccole fiamme per poi fare dei fuochi sempre più consistenti man mano che la stagione fredda avanzava. Dopo poche settimane hanno iniziato a staccarsi tutti i mattoncino centrali che erano a contatto con la fiamma, lasciando incollati solo i laterali che non lo erano. Non so se con l'utilizzo di mattoni refrattari normali il risultato sarebbe stato diverso, fatto sta che con questi di basalto non ha funzionato per niente.

je m'en suis servie pour réparer un foyer de poêle.ça à tenu un an. après il y avait de nouveau des trous à reboucher. sinon le produit est facile à utilisé.

Produit sec rien à faire avec.
