raku kiln design/itc on fiber

I would wonder if it was fiber board that Robert
had trouble with itc. I have sprayed a LOT of fiber
with no problems. But it is not possible to be used
on fiber board. Feriz will tell you that and I
forgot and used it once and because of the binder in
the board, you cannot use itc on it.

Robert, I was planning on treating the fiber blanket
in my larger raku
kiln with ITC 100. I have used it sucessfully on
several soft brick
kilns but have not yet used any on fiber blanket.
Please describe your
experience in greater detail. How did you apply the
ITC, etc. How long
did it last? Virtually everything that I have heard
about ITC is of a
positive nature. As far as I know it,or another
commericial variant, is
being used extensively in industry.
Thank you

Linda,

It was fiberfax...not board. As a matter of fact,
I put a second layer of fiber over the sprayed
layer to prevent the flaked pieces from falling
off when I removed and replaced the cover.
If you're looking for more efficiency, use a
second layer of fiber rather than ITC...especially
in a portable raku kiln.

Catch ya later,
Bob
