Coat before point, no coata morta (Italian for "coat and you die"). If you
want the best in a range of terra cotta coatings (clear, opaque, thin,
thick) talk to Mr. Mike Edison. He can be located in a very small town in
Connecticut (so small they call it Plainville), or use Twybil's global photo
site (you can see the light reflecting off the beads of water on the surface
of the terra cotta.
Best,

Since TC is usually glazed the no-no of coating on masonry is a somewhat
moot point as it already has a coating. As to if it is good bad or
indifferent to coat TC there is a discussion amidst the conservation
technicians moreso than the trades. The discussion will likely last an
indefinite number of decades and never be resolved as much as ppl worn
out on it and fresh troops needed. I do suspect a problem tho w/ the
wholesale coating of the mortar joints.
