I used this premade refractory lining on my blast furnace. It goes on in thin layers, and hardens to a very hard and durable coating.
I don’t usually recommend products like this, but it worked very well for me. I have abused it, used it, and even accidentally melted some steel onto it.
I don’t think it will work as well for you, as it is only as strong as the stuff it is on. If the plaster expands much, it will crack. If the plaster turns to powder, it will come off. My furnace used a stronger and harder refractory cement.
It would probably work in the furnace, because it can handle the heat, but the lid might not do so well.
What about Amazon?

previously i didn't need to set it back down on the ground (old foundry was 1/2 the size). But my hands were too hot due to reaching into the foundry.
You know, I'm not sure. I almost got a weed burner.
I ended up getting this off of amazon:

David gingery has a whole series starting with making a foundry and eventually making your own machine tools.
Where can I get anthracite coal from and is it used basically the same way as charcoal? I found this on Amazon.
Also can you tell me more about how to use diesel?
I'm actually about to start casting dice and I've established a decent method of producing the wax models. I started with a blank die (my local game shop sells blanks, you can buy them online if you can't find any local), and I used a silicon food molding putty I found on amazon to make a mold of the blank. From there you fill the mold with wax and you can add your numbers to the wax and then continue from there with the lost wax method.
If you're more comfortable carving the numbers into the dice blanks that works just as well, but it might make the putty mold not come off as cleanly.
Ya, I have these. Its my last resort, it will mess up some of the finishing polish though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJINV42/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
This goes to 1022 degrees Fahrenheit. Not sure is you're referring to F or C when you say 500 degrees.

Looks like 70USD for .75kg on amazon. Sucks that I can't get in 3mm for my Ultimaker :(
You can build a naturally aspirated propane burner like this for pretty cheap. "Naturally aspirated" means the burner pulls in all the air it needs by itself, so you don't need a blower or anything. You won't be able to melt iron with one of these, but it's all you need for aluminum and copper alloys
Next you'll need a body for the furnace. A lot of guys use old rusted-out 20lb propane cylinders. If you do this, you need to take the valve off the top and fill the cylinder with water before you start cutting it up, otherwise you risk having the little bit of residual gas inside blow up and kill you dead. Don't fuck around with this
Now you'll need something to insulate your furnace. You'll see a lot of recipes for homebrew refractories which you should ignore. None of them work as well as kaowool. Line your furnace with 2" of this stuff, and then coat the interior with some ITC-100 or similar. Don't skip that step. You need to have the kaowool coated because it's similar to asbestos and it's extremely bad to breathe the little particles that break off during operation
