Chris Throws Pots Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi All, I'm in the process of doing some upgrades to the studio's Raku kiln and equipment. The burner head (a Ward MR100) was all rusted out so I ordered a replacement, but I have a question about sealant used on the threaded connection. When I removed the old burner head from the valve section of the rig, I noticed some sort of sealant had been used where the male and female sides meet. It had deteriorated over years of use, but it was obvious something had been applied. What is this stuff? Is it necessary if the connection is tight? If necessary, how is is best applied? Once it's on there, is it permanent? Thanks! C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Call Marc and ask him. It may. Be a higher temperature sealant. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Throws Pots Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks schism and Marcia, I confirmed with Ward that Rectorseal is the right product. I'm all sealed and ready to fire on Monday. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
