Default Is there an acceptable substitute for ITC 100
Several years ago I came across a product called Macote which was a powder that you mixed with water and sprayed on Kowool as a hardener and protective agent. It was as good as ITC 100 and it was about $7 per lb and 1 lb would do the inside of the average gas forge. I tried to get some more of this stuff today and found that it is no longer available. While ITC 100 is a great product and does a teriffic job, it is a bit pricey at $36 and change for a pint. Does anybody know of any other product that is comparable to ITC 100 but lower in cost?

Thanks

Woody
