KILN MODIFICATIONS CAUTIONS
COATINGS
1. We can not at this time recommend any coatings for the
elements.
2. Use of ceramic coatings will void the warranty on the
elements and potentially the firebrick or element holders if
it contaminates them.
3. Some people have reported success with ITC coating
and some people seemed to have caused problems with
this coating.
4. We have not adequately tested these coatings so we
can only say, at this time, that any trouble that results from
the use of ITC and other coatings must be at the risk of the
user.
5. We do use a proprietary coating on all our firebrick that
improves firebrick life and reduces dusting.
OTHER MODIFICATIONS
1. All customer modification is made solely at the risk of the
customer.
2. Modifications will void the warranty.
3. L&L takes no responsibility for hazardous conditions
created by unauthorized modifications.
4. Any authorization for an engineering change must be in
writing from the factory.
DO NOT OVERINSULATE KILN
1. You may add insulation to the bottom, and to some extent
the top.
2. If you put too much insulation on a lid it may weaken
because it relies on the cooling of the lid to maintain its
structural strength. This could lead to cracking or potentially
a collapse of the lid.
3. See the various troubleshooting guides for information
about this.
4. However, never wrap insulation around the perimeter of
a typical sectional kiln.
5. You could trap heat in the wiring boxes and cause an
electrical fire.
6. Also the stainless steel wrap that hold the kiln together
will expand and loosen the structure of the kiln.
