macro crystaline glaze test and paragon kiln woes

updated tue 9 jul 02

While testing macro crystaline glazes in a small, 1.6 cubic
foot, Paragon
kiln, an element broke. When I removed the elements, I
noticed how
badly they had corroded. Replacing the elements is no
problem, but
finding something like ITC, to protect them against the high
temperature
firings, here in South Africa is difficult. Could somebody
please give me
the manufacturer's email address (off list if necessary), or
the details of
an agent here in Southern Africa, or an alternative product
available here
in SA. TIA from Ralph in Cape Town.
