Hi All,
I have been reading past post that I have copied for
future reference when needed and have come upon a
question. When I fire my kiln for a glaze, using a
cone 6, oxidation, what is better to protect my
shelves, kiln wash or ITC? I wanted to put my ware on
stilts, but read that at cone 6, they will melt, so
won't do that. I would really like to put my glazed
pieces on something so I don't have to worry about
drips, but don't know if there is anything out there
that is foolproof. I remember seeing someone at our
local community center all decked out in respirator
gear, sanding away for hours the glazes that melted
off someones work. Although I know that if the glaze
fits it won't run off, however, when I am trying out
new glazes that I don't know will work in my kiln, on
that particular day, during that time of year, etc.,
is there anyway to protect my kiln shelves from
damage?
Thank you for any information that will help me decide
the best way to go.

and rainy while today the sun is out and the
temperature is finally in the high 50's. Ah, New England!

I have an assortment of 'cookies' cut from a slab as well as a bunch of
bisqued pebbles. Make them once and use them forever (well, at least
until you fuse some glaze to them )
