I'm getting ready to fire off my new gas kiln for the first time. I
misplaced my recipe for kiln wash that has a low amount of free silica.
Can anyone help? Veronica

May I suggest that you just use Alumina Hydrate or Silca Sand. Just
sprinkle thinly on the kiln bats. It is easier and cleaner than kiln
wash.
