soda kiln

I have been inspired by the Jack Doherty kiln shown in Ruthann Tudball's book to try and build one myself. For the last month I have been researching where to get materials etc and have come across people on Clayart talking about ITC100 - a coating which claims to protect against wear and tear and improve heat retension. he references are all pretty old and come from people who had not had a long term experience of its effectiveness.

Is there anyone out there who has used it for a long time? How does it compare with Furnacecoat (a MUCH cheaper coating)

I have found it quite difficult to find suppliers for iln building materials out here in East Anglia - especially second hand or 'seconds' firebricks. Any ideas?

[See if you can find someone who repairs boilers. They will often have tons of old firebrick; usually they dispose of it, but you may find someone who needs it carted away.]

I've been looking into this as well. So far I'm not getting very good reports on Furnacecoat, some users find it flakes off after a few firings (number unknown). I've written to ITC reference Salt and Soda, but as I've only just sent the letter I've no reply yet. Several Salt Glazers have recommended a compound called *Kiln Glaze* from Purimachos in Bristol. So a call to them is next.
