** Once Applied, to fully activate the Crystalization Phase - Expose the rigidized wool to a flame for a few minutes.**
Rigidizer - generally goes quite a long way.
If you are applying Dragon's Skin, though, I like to fully rigidize the wool to maintain its thickness while applying this coating which goes on 'very-wet'. (D.S. leaves a durable, efficient, reflective thin coating with maximal wool adhesion.)
(TIP: Rigidizer crystallizes when flame-heated, and to a lesser extent, even as it air dries. It can plug-up the small thumb sprayers on the 250ml bottles. Sometimes you can unplug these sprayers in a bowl of boiling water, but the 500 ml sprayers work the best.)
This Standard Rigidizer is an economical alternative to Freeze Proof Rigidizer.
A popular colloidal silica compound for stiffening ceramic wool refractory fiber. (Inswool/Kaowool/forge insulation blanket).
CAUTION: Freezing destroys Standard Rigidizer. It solidifies, permanently.
We can only ship this 'Standard' Rigidizer in warm weather.
Order Freeze Proof Rigidizer if you need Rigidizer shipped during winter (Oct-April).
Why Rigidize?
TIP:
ITC is rated to 5000°F, and by reflecting the heat from the surface of the wool, brings a typical 40% increase of forge efficiency, burning less fuel, & shortening heat up time.
ITC also preserves the properties of the Rigidizer and the thermal wool by mitigating the heat transferred from the firebox.
