Dear Axel and All: Axel is recovering from minor surgery and is expert in cement in a practical sort of way. Axel, we are a group tying to make improve CHEAP refractories for stoves around the world and have lately been particularly interested in cements, hence my previous question on the Aerated cement we found. Do you have anything to add to the below while you are recupperating?
