Who supplies / manufactures ITC100? I have not seen it
available here in South Africa. There must be a market
for it here if it does as the Clayarters say it does. Please
email me directly at fayralph@sprintlink.co.za. TIA Ralph

I received a fax today from the South African suppliers
of the ITC range of coatings. I was stunned at the price
per gallon of these coatings. They ranged from about
R1300.00 to R1900.00 per gallon (there are about 4.50
SA Rand per US$). This converts to about US$300 to
US$420. My calculations show me that I can cover from
100 to 150 square feet of surface with 1gallon. This
converts to 4 X 8 cubic foot kilns or 1 X 32 cubic foot kiln. There is no way an
the coatings cost efectively at that price. Can anyone
tell me what the normal retail price is in the States? Am
I just being short sighted or correct in feeling that only
the bigger industries can justify this kind of expense?

Hi! ITC l00 is $127.60 per gallon in the US. I sell it here in Canada for
$200 which gives me a very small margin when you consider that shipping is
$30 US, customs fee is $10 and the Cdn dollar exchange is 40%. I have
thought I was doing potters a favour. Sounds like this distributor is in
business to make money! I don't know a thing about shipping overseas but i
can learn. Send me your address and your requirements and I'll do my best.
If not I'll pass your address on to ITC in Florida.
Cheers,
