Dear All -



I have my old Cress B27H Electric Kiln gutted, ready (almost) to spray w/
ITC100. But. the floor of this kiln has an uneven coating of old kiln wash
on it. I have removed the loose areas of the old kiln wash, but the
majority of the floor is still covered. Do I remove the old kiln wash and
in the process risk damaging the floor, or will the ITC 100 stick to it?



I need to patch some of the crumbled places where I damaged the bricks
taking out the old elements. I saved the chunks and pieces that broke off,
and have some extra from a friend. Can I crumble these pieces and mix them
with the ITC 200 patch to fix the needed areas?



I have all 4 ITC products, the 100, 213, 200, 296. I called and talked to
Feriz, and he was every wonderful thing that you had said, and more!



I am looking forward to getting this project up and running - any advice
will be greatly appreciated!

tonight and leave us stranded in the dark with no electricity -last time it
was 16 days without electricity. Maybe I should have reconsidered that kick
wheel - firm thighs & entertained for the next few days! I guess I can get
reacquainted with hand building and sculpting .
