itc 296-a: electric kilns and porcelain

Hello Everyone,

I have heard so many good things about ITC. I have decided to try it. I use
a cone 10 porcelain. It has been suggested after coating the shelves with
ITC 100, I should apply some ITC 296-A for extra purity in my porcelain firings.
I have not heard anyone talk about this product. I just bought some new
Acme Marls High Alumina shelves. I don't want to ruin them. Any information
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The ITC 296 is (according to Nils Lou) supposed to harden the ITC 200 and
seal it.
