I'm interested in knowing if anyone has found a less expensive shelf liner to
protect shelves from runny glazes then the one sold by Ceramic Supply of NY.
The regular kiln wash has never served my purpose.

I don't know what they call "dogu tsuchi" in English, but it is the clay
that is used in little wads to support the lids of tea pots above the pot
rims, etc, when glaze firing - it doesn't stick to the unglazed rims.
Anyway, why don't you make some slices of it, dry it, and put the slices
under your pots with the runny glazes? It is easy to grind the slices off
and keeps the shelves clean.

Last summer I had planned a tile project (which I have not completed) and had
extra tiles for testing glazes. While loading my kiln with some pots with glaze
I was not too sure of, I grabbed an old piece of unfinished tile to put under
them and have been using them ever since. I have no idea how long they will las
but they work well. I have several different sizes and shapes.

Laura,
The studio I started in had this practice - there was a stack of tiles
in the kiln room for this express purpose, in case you had the glaze on
too thick or were testing a new one, whatever. Another trick, if you're
trying to fire tiny pieces and don't want them to get "lost" in the kiln
(a problem in community studios sometimes) is to use Elmer's glue and
stick the tiny pieces onto a tile. The glue burns away and the tiny
pieces are all in one place to lift in and out of the kiln.

Many, many years ago for one of the first Earth Day celebrations I made sun pins
using a ravioli stamp. I made tooooooo many, and being a pack rat I put them in
box and set them on a shelf. When I was teaching some children's classes in my
studio I was concerned about their pieces sticking to my shelves. I began using
them to stilt the work. I would slip these under their pots (usually three so th
would balance). I have been using the same ones for many years and they work gr

50% Epk, 50% Silica add H2O. You can't get much cheaper. Just brush it on.
For texture you can add grog.
