I was always worried about the health risks of silica flour so used to
use Molochite or Sinterlite (calcined clays) But now I am getting
exellent results with SRS Ltd.'s "Glass" which is ready mixed. It
costs £15.80 for 25kg from Special Plasters in Hockley Birmingham.
(not on web i think)

I am afraid you have essentially reduced the health concern,
and much less the hazard.
With a ready made dry mix you have veru much the same amount of
airborne dust while mixing it with water.

Its not the dust thats the problem but what it contains. silica is
very hazardous whereas refractories containing calcined clay are not
so.
