Regarding the Zircon paint I just came across this at:  https://shop.vitcas.com/vitcas-zircon-paint-coating.HTML  Sorry about the screen size specs to the right.

Nice, Tom.  :thumbup: Now have the Mfr name. It seems very reasonably priced, too -- not sure of the container size but it seems more than a pint like the ITC 100HT. The net weight appears to be 5kg which I think might be a liter. Unfortunately for me it doesn't seem available in the States.  :(

One thing I'm wondering about -- it says the color is beige. But Ironman's liquid is violet in color, until fired. Well anyway, nice find!

tom osselton:
I wonder if someone over there could stick it on a plane it definitely shouldn’t be a fire hazard!

One interesting thing that came out of that, Tom is that it is actually zirconium silicate and water mixable. I am guessing that it's similar then to sodium silicate, which explains why it goes on as a kind of thick syrup, unlike the HT100, which is more of a clay-like paste. Also why it would be a better rigidizer than HT100. And finally, maybe we can find zirconium silicate over here.
