Has anyone used refractory cement or anything else to repair soapstone (4 on the hardness scale)? This stone gets hot, so I can’t use the normal stuff like glue or epoxy. Thanks for any advice you can give me. larry

Larry I used a epoxy a few years ago on a grill that was rated at around 2000 deg. I belive Master Builders (concrete Chem. Company) had the stuff or directed me to it. This was around a few years ago and the grill is still holding up. Email me if you can't find it and I'll dig through the files and find this stuff for you.

*"Hot Stuff" cyanoacrylate glue does a fine job on soapstone. You may even think about immersing thesoapstone in this stuff. The glue is found in any woodworker's catalog.
