4:00 Am sun breaking dawn-
lines on the highway appearing like dots - telephone=3D20
poles making like a picket fence back lit by full moon sinking in the west-
Rutting ten point white tail ran into the back quarter panel
Glimpsed him still running through a cloud of his own hair...
Punch the gas=3D2C keep the front wheels aimed ahead as we power out of a 1=
20=3D
MPH fish tail=3D20
while he fades from sight- both buck and 289 running strong!!!
What were we running from or toward???
Great to be alive on the razor edge of what keeps us going - and the good d=

=3D20
all kilns crack and move.
it is a part of the process.
=3D20
kilns are not `living room` furniture that
must be washed=3D2C polished and made to look nice.
(that is a general statement=3D2C not directed at the current poster.)
=3D20
the best repair is: take some loose K-wool/fiber.
soak it in a tiny bit of itc 100 and press into the crack.
in fact=3D2C just fiber works great. use a blade or screw driver.
any mortar repair will usually re/crack.
expansion etc.
=3D20
if you use kiln repair mortar make sure to wet the
area with water...lots of water. soak it. slow dry
and then fire the kiln to like 022. get it to set.
=3D20
in many cases a small crack will allow some
air in the kiln and it may fire better. (small
fissures and cracks being normal.)
=3D20
almost all coatings come off in time. just a part
of the process. itc works like a dream=3D2C but i am
not going to go there...far too many folks think
it a hoax. it is not. nasa likes it a great deal.
but=3D2C of course some potter will say it is crap...
`experts you know.` i would never have an
electric kiln that was not coated itc 100 and the
coils coated in itc metal coat. (see archives.)
=3D20
all of my gas kilns are coated with itc 100.
just makes sense. it may be the best hundred
bucks ever spent on a kiln.
mel
you would all laugh at my old electric kilns.
1960's. they look old=3D2C but they are race cars
under the hood. model A fords with a v8 289 under
the hood. (i loved that ford 289.)
