Question:

Can you insulate a propane forge without a ceramic blanket? Can you use just refractory cement and fire brick?

I was looking at ceramic blankets and holy balls does that get expensive! I was thinking, can you just use refractory cement and fire bricks? I'm looking to insulate a propane forge on a budget. Any idea would be much appreciated.

Answer:

Most screens are held in place with a rubber bead that is pushed into a slot. It's not going to be free to replace it, but it is not expensive. You buy a piece of screen, usually nylon, and pull out the rubber bead, lay the new screen over the frame and push the bead back in with a special roller tool that you buy at the hardware store. It is very important not to pull the screen too tight as you do this or it will deform the frame. Visit the nice people at your local harware store to help you. Or take the screen to a glass shop, they can do it for you, but either way, it won't be free!
Tell your parents. Parents always find out anyway, and the consequences are double because you sneaked the repair. I also doubt very much you'll be able to repair it yourself. Tell them.
