Hi ,
I have a kiln that never had a stainless or other jacket but was banded with
springs holding the bands in place.Well the bands all gave out recently and
even tho the kiln elements are fine it is held together by a kiss and promise
and I am wondering if anyone has this project behind them.I do not wish to
replace the elements and must tie it together somehow.Any suggestions?It is
either a Cress or Jenkin,I'll have to move it to tell and don't want to touch
it until I figure it out.It is 23"wide x 24"high with a kiln sitter but no
other "MODERN DEVICES".I am wondering if I should put a "blanket" around it
before tying it back together.

Margaret,
In the days of TV antennaes on roofs there were available stainless steel
bands with turnbuckles to hold the things tightly on your chimney. Now
everyone in the world but me has cable but you might find such bands at
Radio Shack or some other ham radio type place, maybe a TV repair shop.
Good luck,
Keith
