itc 100 shelf protection waning?

Hi,
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had the experience that Deb
describes below, when using ITC 100 as shelf protection. Anyone else find
that it became ineffective over time and what did you do? Spray on another
light coat?

I have my shelves sprayed but I only ever have small drips that chip off
easily or BIG melts that need a bag around the shelf and a hammer to smash
them off. (Oddly enough, it is only when I use the chemicals I bought off a
retiring potter who is now a dog groomer do I have big accidents. Makes you
wonder...voodoo epk!)

Best regards,
Carol
It's so hot here that I put some wet test "mice" out in the sun this morning
and they were bone dry in three hours and hot to the touch.
