Try a kin wash made of 30 parts each of EPK, flint and aluminum hydrate.
Grind or sand of the old stuff before you apply. This stuff works great,
especially on new kiln shelves, Pots that have runny glazes rarely stick to =
the
shelves. (No more chipped bottom edges) Been using this for a while with =
great
success,,,,,,,

Hello Clayarters,
Just joined the list as a new member but not new to clay.
In my experience, the different recipes you see for kiln wash have more to =
do
with temperature range and/or firing type ( soda, wood, oxidation) and very
little to do with weather or not it flakes. Personally I would choose a =
recipe
that is suitable to the temperature and type of firing you do, and pay more
attention to how you apply the kiln wash ( meaning thickness and evenness of
application). Have your kiln wash mixed thin and than wet the shelves with =
water
and sponge before painting the kiln wash. This ensures both thin and even
application ( of course let dry before putting in the oven).
Best wishes to all for the holiday season.
