Use of fire cement on gas fire radiant

Jan 19, 2009 1 Replies

I have an old, portable calor gas heater and have managed to break its radiant/ceramic element. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to find a replacement so my next step is to try to cement the pieces together. Fortunately there are only 5 of them, and they are quite large.



My question is: can I use fire cement for this purpose? Other posts have mentioned Kos Fire Cement -

which, according to the blurb, has been tested to 1250 degrees Celsius. Will this cement, or similar, do the job?



If it helps, a photo of the broken item can be found here -

and thanks in advance,
