Does anyone know if using furnace cement is toxic? I picked up a pint of the stuff but have concerns about using it.

I know it smells pretty bad until it's cured.

Do you use tenderquick to cure it?

The smoke should do it. Tenderquick will turn it a nice red though.

I'd check the MSDS before using it.

I'd use a vaccine to cure it.

I have not used it in rubs or finishing sauces, but do swear by it for repairing Earthenware Kamado's. My personal favorite is Hercules Regular Body High Heat furnace cement, the New Clean 'n Friendly Formula. Stock #35-515

MSDS in the HVAC link

Rutland has some but I've never tried it.

What are you using it for?

When in doubt, read the instructions.

It's furnace cement, right? But you can't patch from the inside, right?
So you patch from the outside, right? But it's not UDS cement, just furnace cement...and if it were toxic, then you would kill everyone in
your household, right?
Christ, it's portland with some grit...
Whose furnace doesn't have it?

Did we scare blowtorch off? I'm still curious what he wants to do with it!
I'm serious, I use it for repairing the fireboxes on clay Kamados
