Use of fire cement on gas fire radiant
I have an old, portable calor gas heater and have managed to break its
radiant/ceramic element. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to find a replacement so my next step is to try to cement the pieces together. Fortunately there are only 5 of them, and they are quite large. My question is: can I use fire cement for this purpose? Other posts have mentioned Kos Fire Cement - http://www.castironfires.com/detail.asp?id=1185 - which, according to the blurb, has been tested to 1250 degrees Celsius. Will this cement, or similar, do the job? If it helps, a photo of the broken item can be found here - http://tinyurl.com/8shhfj Cheers and thanks in advance, Steve |

The message
from Steve contains these words: I have an old, portable calor gas heater and have managed to break its radiant/ceramic element.
