Fiberfrax and soft firebrick supplier (ABQ or internet)?

I tried fire clay mixed with perlite. It was a bit too crumbly for me and
is still susceptible to flux. Probably need a good coat of clay on the
exposed surfaces. Thought about mixing in some cement but havn't got around
to trying it.

Vermiculite board? I've never heard of vermiculite board... Is it some
sort of cast refractory w/vermiculite in it? Does it work very well for
a forge?

This makes me wonder... has any one here cast their own board? I'd
think most people would just use castable to fill whatever forge they
have, but maybe you could cast some in a deep cookie pan or
something... Maybe add some crushed-up firebrick or vermiculite.

It's just a thought, but maybe you could use the board as a liner over
ceramic blanket to keep it from getting eaten up by flux?

Well, it's probably more trouble than it's worth...
