good morning all
I have an un-used clay chiminea which has a chip on the mouth, does anyone have any idea what i should use to repair it so that it is protected from the frost and the heat when i first fire it up

Kathryn

You'll need heat proof adhesive.  I looked on internet and found some leads.  Intek was one.

Kathryn,

I think Chemical Metal might be able to take the heat, any decent, hardware shop, chandler, car accessory shop should have it. It'll say on the leaflet inside if it can.

Fire cement will do the trick ...

This should be available from any quality DIY or trade stores ...
