We need to fix the lid of an old Evenheat 2451 kiln. It has been used a lot, though with care, by previous owner, so usual story, grooves on lid have widened and elements are sagging.
The bricks in the area where the handles in the front and the hinges in the back are located also need some fixing. We are also changing it to 3 phase. Since we are at it, would also like to give the lid bricks a sealing coat, to reduce/eliminate chances of brick dust falling on the glass.
The local Evenheat dealer suggested to use a thin wash of kiln cement and explained the process, this sounds fine to me.
Then found this product http://www.paragonweb.com/Liquid_Kiln_Coating.cfm. It specifically mentions that it is not kiln cement.
Wondering if anyone has used either, or found a better result with the Paragon coating? From reading posts here and looking at the Paragon website, I have gained respect for this company. The reason I have an Evenheat is that it was available locally, used, reasonably priced...a sort of miracle in my location.
The kiln cement I can get locally. The Paragon product I'll have to import. However, if it is better, lasts longer, or has any other noticeable benefits, I rather bring it in.
Was in any case thinking to get some of their Pyrolite adhesive to really secure the pins, so both can be posted together. Much prefer to do the job once with some certainty that it will last a long time.
It is very possible that there are answers to this in the old archive, but the link is no longer there (hopefully only temporarily).
Hope you won't mind helping out - most probably for the for the umpteenth time - with this query
.Many thanks, seachange

I have a Paragon Janus Ovation 10 glass fusing kiln. I realize that I can't do combing/manipulation in it as it stresses the kiln brick in the lid too much due to the shock of cold air - So I just bought a Paragon fusion 10 with a fiber lid for that purpose....
