5.
Apply a small amount of mud to the outer seams of the
dome to seal the oven. There is no need to cement in the
dome pieces because the oven dome is self-supporting.
6.
Cover the entire dome with a ceramic fiber insulation
blanket (sold separately). Lay wire mesh (such as chicken
wire) over the insulation to hold it tightly against the oven.
7.
If the finished oven is enclosed with masonry walls, cover
it with at least 6 inches of loose vermiculite for optimal
insulation. If the finished oven is left dome-shaped, the
vermiculite should be mixed with cement so that it will
stick together. Mixing ratio: 10 cubic feet of vermiculite to
45 lbs. of Portland cement. Add water as needed.
8.
For dome-shaped ovens, cover the vermiculite with 1
inch of stucco reinforced with chicken wire. If the dome-
shaped oven is left outdoors, it should be waterproofed to
prevent moisture from seeping into the oven. (For further
details, see construction drawings.)
