one thing i know for sure:
with any itc product used for your kilns...
use a blender, mix 100, or 213 with water
and blend for 5 minutes.
that is a long time....and most won't do it.
but, there are small chunks in the mix and
the blending breaks them up.
esp with 213, i really blend it for a long time.
want that mixed with water and thin.
that is why i use the `shake and bake` method.
clean coils in a plastic bag, add the 213 mix
and tip the bag over and over.
then take them out, shake them off, hang to dry.
carefully take the 213 out of the bag and
put it back in the jar. and, i handle the coils with
plastic gloves....keeps hand grease off the coils.
you may use no more than three or four tablespoons
totally.

the best crack repair i have found is kaowool soaked
in itc 100 and then pushed into the crack. most mortar
pushed into a crack will dry and work its way out of the
crack. itc soaked kaowool expands and contracts with
the heat of the kiln. it stays in place.
nils and i have never gotten anything from feriz
except extreme friendship. his life after the death
of alice/his wife has been about big industrial applications
of his product, and building space age kilns/furnaces.
he travels constantly all over the world doing this.
we promote the product because it works, and is really
worth the money spent on it. it extends the life of your
kilns, the life of your coils, and when used on fiber it
extends the life of your lungs.
