I used some kiln cement to repair some brick damage in my electric kiln. The
maintenance tells me to fire it to cone 5 empty the first time. I have a
load ready to glaze fire to cone 6 and wonder what risk I take by skipping
the empty fire and going ahead with the glaze fire.

Chuck, We have first-firedboth empty and filled. Slowly does the trick.
The only problem we recognize is the possible effect constituents of the
cement might have on the ware. We have had no problem with htis but it
might be well to be aware. You do not mention the WXTWNT of the repairs.
