I don't have a pottery supply near , but I do have a large pile of

grates aren't so awkward in shape , I plan to build an enclosure with
firebricks and preheat with my foundry burner . Heat 'em both up and
let one soak while I weld on the other , swap as they cool .

No, you can melt fiberglass on a kitchen stove. I don't know what
the glass type is, but really low melting point.

THanks , looks like I'll be inventorying the fire bricks . I've got enough ,
just gotta dig 'em out of storage .
