cure some more. The key here is to get the temperature high enough to
evaporate the water but NOT high enough to produce steam. Steam expands and
can cause blowouts in your refractory.
Once you get rid of all the water that you can, then slowly add more heat
until you're SURE all the water is out. Once you've done that, you'll want
to vitrify the lining so that it hardens and is more durable. This last
step is dependent on your specific refractory. If you have the website and
or specs for your particular product, there should be final curing
instructions there.
