i have found that blending the itc with water
for a at least 15 minutes is the key.
yes, thin....as earl points out.
thin...and thinner is better.
blending gets the chunks out and
makes a smooth mix.
in fact...pour the left over itc back in the
jar...and it should fill it right back up.
it becomes perpetual motion...you can never
use up a jar of itc metal coat.
i use a plastic bag. use twist ties on the
new coils...roll them up...add the itc and
the coils to the bag.
shake and bake.
i just turn the bag over about three times.
then hang them to dry.
works like a charm.
just lost a coil...yep, it broke at the connection...not the coil.
used a bernzomatic torch...heated the coil, pulled it out 2 inches.
re/connected...good as new. to this date, i have never lost a coil
coated with itc...including our gas electric kiln.
gfi plugs can pop for many reasons. don't use the gfi with the
wheel. it is like putting a smoke alarm over a wood kiln.
it might go off. powerful motors, modern, well insulated do not
need gfi. gfi are fine for bathrooms and kitchens...but
not big motors. sort of re/dun/dent. just plug the wheel into
any 20 amp circuit...away you go. gfi would be big time over kill.
(of course, if you are throwing on a lake dock, a basement with
an inch of water..etc well, don't....forget it.)
