The shelves had been used once, but had been stored outside and were
damp...not damp
so you could tell...all that was left of the shelves was dust!

If you keep ADVANCERS dry they are "DROP DEAD WONDERFUL." I have been using
them for five or more years, and they are fired every day. The only problem
that I have had was when I dropped them. No warps, or cracks, or failures in
the kiln. I wish that everything that I bought was as satisfactory as these
shelves.
My only complaint is that they are expensive. Since they have outlasted my
old shelves by so much they really are a bargain. I used to replace my
corederite shelves at least once a year.
Keep them dry and they seem to last forever.
