I am looking for something to fireproof or at least retard, the wallboard
behind my kilns. I am essentially stuck with having a wooden kiln shed, but
since I am going to be living in the attached cottage, I would just as soon
not fire with the pots. I know that there are substances which retard
flames (via TV) but was wondering if the ITC100 sprayed on the wallboard
would be effective? Also, I am traveling to Columbia, SC, Charlotte, NC and
Highpoint NC. Have to go look at my daughter's wedding gown selection,
discuss "mother of the bride" dresses (I did not even know we had a category
for this - nor care, but Jessie does so I guess I do now). I have been
promised that if I put up with viewing wedding gowns I can go to some places
for me. Hence if anyone has any recommendations of either galleries or
potters somewhere along that route, please let me know. Bic (who is really
pushing the idea of eloping right about now!)

Beth
if you are going as far as High Point, think about a side trip to Winston-Salem.
in Historical Old Salem, there is a small museum of Moravian Pottery tiles,
pressed ware, and a few other things that they are still producing using the molds
etc made in the 1740-1770's. Also In Downtown, Ron Probst was converting an old 3
story furniture store into a sort of Torpedo Factory, he had about a dozen
committed artists about 10 years ago, so it might be worth a visit.
Millie in Md wondering what my old home town of Winston-Salem is like now. about
this time of year the air would be starting to be filled with the rich aroma of
cured tobacco going from the farms to auction, and then the best of it being
warehoused in Reynolds' downtown warehouses. I know that cigarettes are no longer
Politically Correct, but....I file that memory along with the the one that we
could always tell what color Hanes was dyeing that day by the color of the creek.

Drywall or wallboard is sold in a fire rated version. You can use more than
one layer to get the fire protection you need. Not all building supply
stores sell, but a few phone calls will probably locate one. There are also
fire rated paints that are used on commercial jobs such as wood in high
rise buildings. Good luck

Beth, definitely spray that wallboard with ITC100. To prove it to
yourself, spray a scrap, let dry and take a propane torch to it. Then do
the same with a scrap untreated. I think you will be convinced. Nils

Depending on your geographic area, you could also use the matt that would be placed
underneath a wood stove, available where you would buy a wood stove. I believe
they are rated very high. Perhaps Vermont Castings has a website...

Having just put up drywall in the garage/studio, I can tell you that this
stuff is definitely sold at Home Despot. Costs just about $2.00 more per
sheet than the regular stuff. CAVEAT: it is also THICKER than the regular
stuff, so be prepared for that difference...........
