Thanks Marty, sure is exciting seeing the 63 going back together! What is the insulation you are using? When I helped on 3751 we had something many of the crew called 'fart rock' as they said it made the most awful stench the first time it was heated.

We are using calcium silicate block insulation, and the corresponding 'cement'.
