fire cement problem I'm having a problem with the fire cement that I'm going to use in the extruder for my reprap. I took it out of it's wrapping, used some, and then put it in a sealed plastic bag, thinking that that would stop it from setting but it didn't. Does anyone know any way of making it usable again, or am I going to have to buy more? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16250#msg-16250 Sat, 18 Apr 2026 09:52:15 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,46718#msg-46718 Re: fire cement problem https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,46718#msg-46718

I bought a pot from B&Q nearly a year ago I am still using it.

In fact it will be used for my two wood burning stoves that I have to renovate.
One is a pot belly like you see on old westerns, the others a normal looking glass door'ed stove.

For the extruders I am using the Kaptan high temp tape from "deal extreem"

As dealextream sent my tape marked as a gift there was not the extra £8 Post Office handling charge to pay total cost $3 About £2 including P&P

I haven't used it in that way, but according to Nophead, it does indeed perish after a while.]]> Forrest Higgs Plastic Extruder Working Group Sat, 30 Aug 2008 09:34:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16322#msg-16322 Re: fire cement problem https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16322#msg-16322

As should JB weld etc

Haven't people been having issues with the JB weld perishing over time, though?]]> Ru Plastic Extruder Working Group Sat, 30 Aug 2008 06:31:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16313#msg-16313 Re: fire cement problem https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16313#msg-16313 Ian Adkins Plastic Extruder Working Group Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:10:01 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16291#msg-16291 Re: fire cement problem https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16291#msg-16291 > repairing car exhausts instead?

Certainly worth trying, but at least here (northeast US) furnace cement is something that you can go to a hardware store and buy that's good to a couple thousand degrees. Although I think only one of the two big home improvement warehouse-stores had it.]]> jonored Plastic Extruder Working Group Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:30:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16285#msg-16285 Re: fire cement problem https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16285#msg-16285

Can I use Exhaust Cement (rated to 300C) for repairing car exhausts instead?

That sounds like a sensible sort of idea. Give it a go and let us know how it works out ;) I don't know if anyone has found a really satisfactory material yet, in terms of price and being easy to obtain.]]> Ru Plastic Extruder Working Group Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:27:57 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16284#msg-16284 Re: fire cement problem https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,16250,16284#msg-16284
