Ross_FL Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I bought a pint of ITC-100 about 4 months ago, about 2 months ao I used it to coat the inside of my forge. Two questions, how do I know if I applied it properly because I have found no descriptions of the finished surface or pictures of a good coating. Second, if I didn't coat it properly and a re-coat is needed, what is the shelf life of the pint I bought? I have plenty left, hopefully it's still good. Thanks in advance if you know your ITC-100!!

Frosty Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If it doesn't flake off and it heats to high color quickly you did it right. It should have an unlimited shelf life, it's zirconia flour and kaolin clay. If it dries out add water and allow it to soak for a good long time, a few days or so and mix it, it should be good to go.

Ross_FL Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Takes it about 15 minutes to heat the forge, I will most likely re coat. Any advice for applying with a brush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Mix 50/50 with water and dab on, don't "brush" it. Keep it mixed or the zirconia will settle out. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
