Kiln Shelf - Fibre - Mini Economy
Ceramic soft fibre shelf, perfectly sized for mini kilns.
The kiln shelf is a perfect size for smaller kilns, lightweight and easy to move around. It is safe for high firing temperatures, so suitable for most metal clay firings - if you're firing sterling enriched clays, see note below.
This size shelf fits most mini or 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.
MEASUREMENTS: The shelf measures 12cm x 7cm x 1cm.
PLEASE NOTE: We've had some reports of sterling enriched clays sticking to this shelf when firing at higher temperatures. If you're firing any of the sterling silver clays like Art Clay 950, EZ960, PMC Sterling or other clays that require higher firing temperatures, we recommend placing a small piece of Thinfire Shelf Paper between your clay and the shelf.
