Wayne,
How much ITC did you use? I notice that Axners lists the coverage for one
pint as 3 square feet. Is this a typo? I understand that you need to dilute
it at least with 50% water so you would end up with a quart. Since it is
also recommended that you apply just a thin coat - I see that 30 square feet
would be more appropriate.

Eva:
I bought a quart, and still have some left. I never measured it
since the Mayor showed me how thin to make it. I just went by that.
Mel: Is 30 pretty close? 3 is way out of whack. It covers much
more than that.
Best Regards,
Wayne Seidl

Thanks Wayne,
I will contact Axners and what they have to say - I want to use it on
insulating bricks in the firing chamber of a wood kiln that I will build
next spring - and I was starting to get worried about the cost of the ITC.

How thin did Mel say to mix it? I am getting ready to spray a gas kiln =
and an electric.

Mr Delkic lives in north east Florida. When my friend contacted him about ITC coating her kiln, he very kindly came over to her new pottery, slipped on an apron over his immaculate shirt and tie and proceeded to coat her kiln for her, then and there. He brushed it on. I had occasion to meet him sometime later, and found him to be genuine, friendly, and a true gentlman, a pleasure to converse with. I only mention the brush appplication because there must be potters out there who do not have spray facilities. I agree that spray would be the superior method, easier, faster, more efficient, but brushing is possible.
Mary K......smiling, weather is still holding out, is it possible the nasties will not return?
