Normally they use a product called ITC100 for K whool and ceramic fiber blankets.....
I have some ITC 100 left over from a build I did, This is the real deal - Wasn't cheap, But it will be the best in terms of refractory properties and keeping your K whool rigidized
I bough it from https://www.princessauto.com/en/itc-100ht-ceramic-coating/product/PA0008927550
I have 2x pint jars - If you're interested, let me know!
I am sure we can strike and VERY FAIR deal - ( id rather see it go to use then to the garbage )

I used this castable refractory cement from amazon a while back.... https://www.amazon.ca/Rutland-Castable-Refractory-Cement-12-5-Pound/dp/B000H5T5EA
I applied it on top of the K-wool and then I used the ITC100 on top of that. Made a good liner. I procured my ITC100 from Princess auto as well. They recommend spraying it...... I tried and nearly destroyed a wagner paint sprayer (they ask for a stippling sprayer). I ended up brushing the ITC100 on.
I has a second project that needed a liner and for that I forwent the cement and just used standard refractory + ITC100. I find the cements are not economical by volume....

I would not recommend you spray it, Not possible to thin it enough.
Just thin is 2:1 and brush it on, More water means thinner, And will eventually evaporate.
For most projects - cermaic whool and ITC 100 is more then enough.

I used it mixed with perlite to make my first furnace. The method is described here

Oh bummer.
Well im in edm.
Im willing to ship if that helps. Or if some one is heading down to calgary from edm?
Not sure this is relevant but this is the place (in Calgary) where I bought my kiln bricks from. These were just for backup while torching. But I think they sold all kinds of kiln building & repair supplies. That special cement & wool blanket rings a bell but you'd have to check, its been a while.

I liked that place. I believe I got fire clay there too
