There's a big industrial refractory place here in Memphis that I get it from. They usually deal with huge industrial orders and they weren't too eager to deal with me and my tiny needs at first, but I kept calling until I found a guy there who doesn't mind selling small amounts.

Thanks... That's a very generous offer. I'm headed to Dallas on Monday and if I can't find something, I might get back with you if it's ok.
Thanks again,
Judd
