BTW, something to keep in mind, if you haven't done this, is that potter's
clay makes an effective wrap for slow carburizing. Just roll some out fairly
thin (maybe 3/16" or 1/4" at most) with a rolling pin and wrap the part,
with some carburizing material, like a burrito or a dumpling.

Next time I'm food shopping I'll get some burritos and give this a try.
No, seriously, I take your meaning and it sounds like an excellent idea.
I was wondering about using some sort of ceramic pot instead of a steel
or iron box. I never thought of just encasing the part in potter's clay
along with the carburizing material. Sounds much easier to do than baking
a special air-tight ceramic box.
