repairing kiln shelf

[ironman55]

I have a Corelite shelf 1"X24X39 I heated up my kiln too fast (I think) it cracked full length completely. Can it be repaired with a high temp cement mortar or ???
Also, I cant find any company info on Corelite manufacturer. I would like to contact the company that actually makes them to ask their thoughts.

THanks for any help, Joe

If you can't repair it, then you can cut them into pattern bar molds.

OR

cut them for damming

You will be hard pressed to make a good repair. You can cast a new shelf using a Castable 3000 cement. It is good option for making fixtures if you don't mind a rougher surface. A good reminder to bake out moisture slowly after having your kiln in hibernation for a while.
