Another solution to protect brick:
Make cardboard cut outs that you slide down the in-sides of your kiln to protect the brick during loading. You can use tape to tape the seams of your card board sections so when you put them in you only have 2 to 4 pieces. Don't forget to take them out.

The top rim of firebricks will last longer if you protect it
with a piece of plywood when you load/unload the kiln. Cut
the plywood with a curve so that it fits across the top of
the kiln.

Mel,
You said that you put the ITC on your thermocouple. do you put it on
just the tip or on the whole assembly?
Also, the top rim of brick of my "new" electric kiln is crumbling -
would ITC be effective on keeping the bricks from disintegrating so badly?

I know you all must be tired of my regular rants
on the wonders of Hardibacker.... BUT I cut
a piece the shape of the kiln brick rim and put some
electrical tape over the edges. It's the perfect brick protector
and doesn't add more than 1/4 inch which being vertically challenged
is an issue for me.
