First and foremost - NEVER EVER USE A HIGH-TEMP MORTAR FROM A PAIL OR BUCKET TO BUILD YOUR BRICKWOOD BOX OR WOOD-FIRED PIZZA OVEN! Unless you are building the Cortile Barile or Cupola and using the pre-mix to seal the oven, then NEVER TOUCH THE STUFF!
It is not designed for BrickWood Ovens DIY Pizza Oven Ktis or the BrickWood Box.
Only use dry / bagged High-Temperature mortars that are NON-WATER SOLUABLE. If you use an Indoor / Water Soluable mortar and it gets wet, it will crumble over time.
NON-WATER SOLUABLE MORTAR ONLY!!!
