Gavinfine Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hello Everyone, well I have one particular kiln shelf where the kiln wash will not stick to it. The recipe I use is 2 EPK, 2 Flint, 1 Alumina hydrate. On my other shelves this recipe works fine except for this one. I have to rewash it every time because it flakes off. I have scrapped off all the remaining in between each wash and placed two layers on each time. Any suggestions on what might be causing this? Thank you Gavin www.finefieldpottery.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I suggest grinding down to a very clean surface with a 4 inch grinder(hand power tool) or larger. Some old wash or something is still left on and may be the culprit.Hand scraping is not taking it off? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndham Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Depends on the type of shelf but I use a portable belt sander(w.dust mask) to get down to the shelf surface. Wyndham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Potter Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Gavin, did it help to grind down the shelf? I'm having some trouble too with one shelf. Wondering what worked for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
