[QUOTE="Wombats1, post: 156053, member: 5107"] we used to use a cement called from memory "Fondu" it was black, it was used to repair what we called fire boxes in clay roofing tile Kilns, the fire box would bear the brunt of the gas burner. it was hot enough in those that the glaze was like glass it would penetrate the white fire bricks and melt them, nightmare to chisel out :), the fondu was used to strengthen (slow down oxidization i presume) the inside of the box with a layer of render. the boxes themselves were mortared with clay the same as the tiles were made of. hope this helps.
