Preparing a kiln shelf with kiln wash

[@kathiekarancz964]

Wow! Thanks again! Kathie 🐢

[@FiredGlass]

It’s a great technique

@@FiredGlass living in Mexico makes it hard for me to get supplies. I only have one kiln shelf for my kiln and would love to get another one. Any suggestions as to where and how without paying a fortune for it? 🐢

The copy paper trick is a fantastic tip! Thank you for this video, your lovely voice and videos are just fantastic. 🙂

[@FiredGlass]

Once you know about it it's a great time saver for sure. Changed our world when we learnt about it.

Thanks for the tip about the scrubby, just done my kiln shelf in a fraction of the time and no mess either 😊

[@FiredGlass]

Yay, more time back for making.

Thankyou so much, enjoyed watching that, some great tips there. :)

[@FiredGlass]

Thanks Peter, glad to hear it was helpful.

So you can use this for microwave kiln and no need to use the paper and place glass in this directly?

[@FiredGlass]

There should be no reason why not. Make sure you end up with an even smooth covering. However, as mentioned in reply to your other comment about making glass dots, we are not experts with microwave kilns. Whilst the concept is similar, the equipment being different does throw up differences.

[@lovestobead]

Oh my goodness! I thought you had to let it dry in between each coat! LOL!

[@FiredGlass]

You have just bought yourself some time back then! Great news.

[@susanhardy1443]

Why do you need to take the old shelf wash off the sides of the shelf before redoing the shelf with new Kiln Wash?

[@FiredGlass]

No there's no need, if there any flakes then rub those off, but otherwise just coat over the top.

[@adriennehunt1799]

Very informative thanks. My glass art teacher taught me to allow the shelf to dry in between each wash, which doesn't take long here in Australia, but interesting to see you actually don't need to do that. Also using the damp scourer before coating the shelf is a brilliant idea, as is gently rubbing the top coat of dried wash with a piece of flat paper to smooth away brush lines.😁🐨🦘
