itc on electric kilns

I just had new elements put in a Skutt electric kiln, have fired it a couple
of times and plan to coat it with ITC according to instructions. My concerns
are 1) will it spall off? and 2) what happens when elements need to be
replaced again, Will the coating pull apart the soft brick as the elements
are removed? That stuff is like glue!

I have used it on kiln shelves and it is great. Hoping it will work for the
kiln.
Has anyone had any problems with this use?

The electric kiln I use at the school where I teach has had an ITC coating
for 2 years now. There have been no problems with it. One element was
replaced after coating without any problems also.
