Product Description
Kiln Shelf - Fibre - Mini - fits most mini kilns like the Prometheus PRO1.
We have a small amount of shelves that are looking a little rough from the manufacturing. They may be slightly discoloured, have some rough edges, some cracks along the edge and possible slight damage to corners, but they are working absolutely fine. We have test fired a couple in our studio and are happy they work as expected. With use, you may see some flaking.
The kiln shelf is made from fibre board which withstands 1260℃ so suitable for most metal clay firings. If you're firing sterling enriched silver clays (like Art Clay 950) it can be useful to put a little piece of shelf paper between the silver and ceramic shelf to stop any sticking.
This size shelf fits most Mini Kilns and small kilns like the Prometheus Pro1 kilns - as well as larger kilns of course, like the Pro7 and Paragon kilns. Always use a shelf when firing to protect the floor of the kiln and to help you remove the fired pieces after firing. You can place the shelf directly onto the base of the kiln floor, or on posts to make it easier to lift out the shelf using tongs.
The shelf may go brown as it heats up or during the first firing, this is normal due to the binder burning off - it will go back to an off-white colour once it has been fired at about 600-800C for a little while.
The shelf measures 7.5 x 12cm
These kiln shelves may have discolouration, minor damage, or cracks as per the images below show.
