Oven Flame Viewing Port

I did an internet search for "Isinglass and Mica". It is available in clear as well a smoke from a variety of different sources. Under one web page it stated you could use 2 pieces of mica for better heat retention. Any thoughts??

What would be the best and easiest way to install the mica???

Monday I will let my fingers do the walking in the yellow pages and see what I can get locally.

OK,
I found the port, it has a crinkly sound of something setting back of hole, porcelain 'surround' completely exposed as if nothing there. When oven lit there is no flame visible from outside through this view port.

Do ya think this is enough insulation for the retained heat feature? I have no idea how a install of the mica would happen, It wouldn't be in our capabilities...V

Mark:

You are the best! "Visual Aids"! What a concept.

My question is: where can a guy get a good mica flange, anyway? Mine are all corroded to dust, and I'm considering just punching out a few from sheetmetal, unless there's some easy source.
