Preventing
Kiln Wash
Sticking to Glass
This is part two of a three part tip. Click here to visit
part one.
4. Try firing a piece with iridescent
glass on the bottom, with the irid side down against the shelf.
Kiln wash doesn't usually stick to irid. (This works for
dichroic coatings, too.)
5. Consider using fiber paper instead
of kiln wash. Even if the fiber paper sticks to the glass,
a simple dip in a pan of water will usually remove the paper easily.
(Just make sure your piece has totally cooled before you try
this.)
6. Switch brands of kiln wash.
It's best to purchase a premium brand of kiln wash that's been
formulated for glass, such as Bullseye's Shelf Primer or Hotline Primo Primer.
And finally, my
favorite tip for preventing the sticking of kiln wash to glass.
