there was about a 1" gap where the element was gone and it looked like
some glaze got on it. ate about 1/4" into the brick in that spot.
two different elements. and the one in the floor was getting ready to
go. I patched it back together, but getting the corrosion off was
less than easy and less than complete. ran it up to 1800 with a fast
firing and it made it, so hopefully can do the same full of bisque
ware. the middle elements read high on my ohm meter now, but it is a
good patch until I get some new elements in to replace.

I have an element on an electric kiln that looks eaten through by
glaze or something. I read a long time back that mel jacobson had a
fix for these? something about using a torch and then twisting the
wires together. any further recommendations?
would buy new elements, but these are not that old, and I kind of
would rather make the kiln run a little longer until I can buy/build a
new one.

Jonathan, what do you think ate into the element?
What color is the damaged area?
Has the element stopped heating entirely?
