Features

  • Kiln wash is a protective layer that is applied to your kiln shelves to prevent glazed pieces from sticking while firing.
  • Your glaze may run, your pot may tip over, or you may over-fire the clay. This makes kiln wash an important preventative measure for all glaze firings.
  • How to Use: fill jar with water, shake well. Then apply several thin coats to the top layer of your shelves, letting it dry thoroughly in between each coat.
  • Use a brush, roller, or even a sprayer.
  • Do not apply to fiber-based or silicon carbide shelves.

  • Essential for beehive kilns!
Size: 1 lb Dry Mix
In my little Ultralite Beehive kiln, the floor is the heating element; once you get enamel on it there’s nothing you can do about it (well, you can try to carefully chip or grind it off, but again you’re doing this on the heating element- it’s risky). Having a moderate coat of this kiln wash on the element makes spilled enamel flake off easily without risking damage to the element. It does not effect heat transmission, and once dry (and especially once it’s been heated) it doesn’t put off dust that would contaminate or disfigure the enamel. It even covers the enamel I’d already spilled before I got the kiln wash, preventing trivets etc from sticking to it. ... show more

  • kiln wash melted right into glass... unable to scrape it off :-(
Size: 1 lb Dry Mix
Followed instructions on container. After the kiln wash dried thoroughly on the base of my microwave kiln, I followed my usual procedure in combining/melting glass pieces. After the glass cooled, I attempted to remove it from the base of my kiln. Basically, I had to destroy the base to remove the glass :-( ... show more
