Jackdaws and mouldable firebrick
My father reported that he’d had a jackdaw fall down his chimney whilst he’d been sailing around the Clyde and Aaran. Being a helpful son, I looked up some websites for “pot toppers”, “chimney hats” and “Bird Guards”.
Whilst looking I also spotted that the same supplier could provide Mouldable Firebrick and heatproof screed. These both sound like ideal products to help make and maintain flowerpot furnaces, workshop hearths and home forges.
Mouldable Firebrick
“Mouldable Firebrick is a specially formulated blend of high quality refractory (heat resistant) aggregates and bond clays, resulting in a product which can be moulded into any shape to replace ordinary firebrick.”

Heatproof screed
“Heatproof Screed is a cement like material which provides a protective rendering for brick, stone and other vulnerable materials which can be damaged by exposure to heat. This fully blended composition, with a maximum grain size of 3 mm, is mixed with water to a trowelling consistency.”
