Abstract
Abstract This disclosure relates to multi-layer coatings of ceramic paint and teaches how they may be made and used. It discloses that such coatings are made by applying finely-divided material, such as -100 micron silica, to ceramic paint while it is wet, curing without fusing the paint, and then applying another coat of ceramic paint. Many uses, in places where known ceramic coatings or claddings have exhibited poor resistance, adhesion, or life, are disclosed.
