Vent: Bought a cheap 'forge ready' refractory mix that cracked after one firing

Wasted about $45 and a whole afternoon patching it up. Anyone have a go-to brand for small forge linings that actually holds up?

That "forge ready" label is basically a dare from the universe. I had the same thing happen with a bag of Firebrick brand stuff, total junk. These days I just bite the bullet and mix my own with some kaowool and a proper castable, it's a pain but at least it survives past the first heat cycle.
