ITC and Glaze
I coated the kiln and the shelves with ITC 100-HT. This stuff is really expensive and nobody (except ITC) knows what's in it. What a deal! Seriously, it protects the kiln furniture from the intense heat and also protects the kiln interior. It is best sprayed with a sand blasting gun, but since I don't have one I had to brush it. It is really gritty and almost impossible to get even. Hopefully it still works ok. I fired the kiln with furniture to cone 04 to set everything.
Also, my glaze materials arrived last night. I am in the process of sorting them out and finding containers for each of the chemicals. The stuff can kill you over time if you breathe it, so I strapped on the respirator. Hopefully this weekend I will find time to mix up some glaze tests.

hey I do not know what I am doing and how to do it here! IF YOU or anyone knows how to access the glazes that potters have made public at the glazeCalculator, LET ME KNOW and I think this thing will email all and any follow up comments here.. so that is the way to find me! Rox
Rox,
I have plans to eventually add a page to search the public glazes. Also, I would hope to feature a glaze every so often on a blog. However at this point there just really aren't many public glazes in the database. My hope is that people will use glazecalculator.com to email links to glazes they are discussing on the web. Hopefully eventually this will happen. Also I am talking with some people about writing glaze calculation education articles for the site. If you have (or create) an account on glazecalculator.com I'll email you when there is a searchable glaze db. Again, at the point there just aren't that many people using it and even less making glazes public.
Regards,
Mike
