For spinner rings, you would carefully wrap strips of the paper round a channelled ring core until it is just below the top of the channel, then build the second band (the part that will spin freely) on top of the paper. During firing, the shelf paper will burn away, hopefully leaving you with a free spinning centre core. Carefully place the ring in a bowl of water after firing to dissolve any paper dust left, and to keep the dust contained and easily disposed of. You may need to 'spin' your ring for a while to free it up. Hours of fun...!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter firing, ThinFire is reduced to a fine layer of ash.
