Kiln Accessories

Ceramic Fiber Blanket

Hot glass beads must cool slowly or they may crack from thermal shock. Place your hot beads between these two 6” x12” blankets until they have cooled to room temperature. (Helpful Hint: Wrap the two blankets together with duct tape and cut them apart. This will keep the fibers from falling apart while handling them.)

Back Magic 975°

Add shine to the back side of your fused or bent pieces. Apply overglaze and fire to 975°F. Because it matures well below slumping temperatures, the back side can be fired without the front side picking up any texture from the kiln shelf. Will not eliminate texture but it will make most surfaces smoother with a slight gloss.  4 oz. bottle.

For use after first slumping process. Not recommended for food bearing surfaces.
