Can set a ‘small’ fire to help set cure *BUT* not to hot or can boil water out of formula, causing holes and cracks that will compromise the application, paint-able once fully cured. Interior use only, product is water soluble, not flexible (dries hard cement) this can cause cracking on stove pipes that expand and contract with heat, use a silicone sealant or direct vent sealant depending on temp in these cases, If you need a higher temp rating use Refractory cement. color may whiten when heated. Not an adhesive and is water soluble. if need to adhere firebricks to cinder block use Castable Refractory Cement instead.
