If you determine a hole needs to be closed, obtain some firebrick patching material or ceramic
fiber from your local ceramic distributor. A paste made of high temperature kiln wash is also
acceptable for patching. When making the repair, force the material into the hole from both sides
of the hole. Allow to dry before firing.
