One or two kiln shelves? Posted on May 01, 2014
I have posted some pictures on facebook to show the best way to position your kiln shelf/shelves to get an even heat distribution within your kiln. Firing in a kiln is always stronger than firing with a torch as it takes longer and the heat is controlled. It is also important to use the right type of kiln shelf. At the PMC Studio we manufacture our own which are not only dipped to last but are also robust whilst porous to give a great heat distribution. The solid kiln shelves often supplied by other manufacturers are best avoided. (These look similar to a thin concrete slab.)
