This is an overview of how you can use L&L's brick cement to repair damaged kiln brick.

In this video, we will demonstrate how you can use L&L's brick cement to repair hairline cracks in your kiln brick.

In this video, we will demonstrate how to fix a broken kiln lid or bottom using L&L's high-temperature brick cement.

 

Note: This is re-used footage using our old cement formula, hence the lighter color. However, the process is precisely the same!

How to replace a damaged side brick in an Easy-Fire or other sectional L&L kiln. This video shows replacing both a brick where the element connections are and where the peephole is (the two most difficult bricks).

This shows some interesting techniques for repairing firebrick in front-loading kilns where it is difficult to replace an entire firebrick section.

This video shows how to repair minor cracks in the bricks on a front-loading Easy-Load kiln. Can also be used in other situations where you do not want to remove firebrick. Hi-Temp kiln cement can be used instead of phosphate bonded cement (which is no longer available).

How to repair cracked brick in a front-loading kiln. First remove the damaged brick using a drill and chisel to route out and remove brick. Then shape a cut firebrick piece to fit in the space and cement in place. Then sand. Let the cement dry overnight and then do a slow bisque firing to cone 5. This same technique can be used on kiln bottoms and in other situations like on the side or back. Hi-Temp kiln cement can be used instead of phosphate bonded cement (which is no longer available).

Paul Cummins is a ceramic artist in the UK working on a massive project to make one poppie for every UK soldier killed in World War I. The poppies are being displayed at the Tower of London and then sold to the public. Our Jumbo Bell-Lift kiln, sold and installed by Potclays, our UK distributor, is helping him with this Herculean task. L&L Kilns is proud to be part of this memorial.
