David Beaumee asked about sodium vapors corroding soft brick. It =3D
depends.
If you protect the interior kiln surface and all the furniture by a =3D
light
spraying of ITC100 that will slow down the effect of soda vapor =3D
corrosion.
I'd suggest as well introducing the soda by mixing with water and =3D
spraying
it in using a common garden sprayer rather than wrapped burritos or just
dumping. In my salt kiln I have dipped the entire soft brick (K-28) in =3D
the=3D20
ITC which gives more protection than just a surface treatment. Fuel =3D
savings
more than justify the extra cost.

Be aware that chemical reactions involving differing Sodium compounds are
not identical in character with respect to the refractory materials employe=

in Kiln construction or as protective coatings.
