Thanks for the effort Martin but C.A in Oz posted what I wanted to
hear. I know "glue" wasn't the best word BTW. ;)

I see you already have your answer, but waterglass (sodium silicate, I
think) is often used to cement insulating seals to doors of wood fired
stoves. I'm not sure that the castable refractory is a good "glue".
Often holes are drilled in firebricks and stainless steel rods are poked
through to hold non-gravity supported shapes.

It can be depending on how you do it ;-)

I was thinking that you'd stack your bricks and trowel on the pyrocrete.
It's a good product, if it's good enough to be considered for a weigh
bridge, then it's a pretty safe bet that it has a lot of structural
integrity as well as the high heat properties.

It could be used as a mortar, but I think the benefit of having a
durable hot face material would be lost.
