sure that you take the first firing fairly slow, so that the shelves dry =

completely before goosing the gas...you don't want to blow up a shelf...

Hi,

Just put kilnwash on my shelves for the first time. The simple question f=
or
today is do I have to fire the shelves by themselves before I do a glaze
firing?

Thanks so much.
