Tips and Techniques

Note: There must be a period of time between completing

the masonry work and beginning the actual firing cure.

Longer is better than shorter, particularly for the actual

dome cement. The cements must cure first and this

process is actually improved by keeping the cement moist

and not letting it dry out. Cement is exothermic and gives

off heat. If you were to start the Oven curing too soon, you

drive this exothermic action the wrong way and damage

the new cement.
