ITC-213 cement - need an ounce or less
I have a couple of nice soldering stations with burned out elements that I
need to rewind. I found the nichrome wire I need cheap on eBay, but now I need something to insulate it from the metal. After doing some research, I came across ITC-213 refractory cement which seems to be ideal, but only see it sold by the pint - which is probably 100 times more than I'll ever need. Does anybody here have a tiny amount they can sell me? I probably only need a teaspoon or two. |

The jar's not close at hand, but I think it's zirconia based. If you want to look into it I'll get the exact product name. It may be No.13 on this page: http://www.sauereisen.com/c_prod/c_chemical.asp -- Ned Simmons |

It may be No.13 on this page: http://www.sauereisen.com/c_prod/c_chemical.asp It looks that should work fine if it is #13. The wire was wound on the outside of a 1/4" dia hollow steel tube, which is in turn slid inside a slightly larger dia. steel tube, with only about.02" of space between the inner and outer tube, so there is no room for mica or any other insulators. The inner tube must be painted & dried before winding on the wire element, then painted over again before inserting it in the outer tube. Fortunately, it is only a 24 volt 2 amp element, so higher voltage breakdown is not a problem. Most irons operate at about 700 or 800 deg. F. ( about 400 deg C ) Wade |

That would probably get you a visit from people with a battering ram & assault rifles. Two idiot salesmen for another division of the company I worked for filled an envelope with talcum powder and dropped it it the hallway right after the first incident. They were fired, and arrested for terrorism. -- http://improve-usenet.org/index.html aioe.org, Goggle Groups, and Web TV users must request to be white listed, or I will not see your messages.
