Dear Brandon Phillips,
You ask <I've never used these in a high fire. I've also heard that coating them =
with ITC will increase their life, is this true? Any help you can offer =
would be great!>>
It may sound a bit archaic, but why not tumble stack with a good =
refractory wad between contacting surfaces. If you can find any articles =
in the journal archives (possibly CM) by the late Sandra Johnson, she =
explains how and why. She had other great advice for would be salt =
glazers. Sandra was a student of Paul Soldner and followed his =
suggestion to build her kiln without a brick floor, a considerable =
saving in cash. Furthermore, it works. I saw the kiln she build at =
Macgregor in Queensland.
An outstanding example of the KISS principle.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis. Redhill, South Australia.
