Get it tested but looks like early ceramic fibre, asbestos not used like that for many decades. Ceramic fibre not to be used casually either, very bad if inhaled and irritates the skin. Can get a spray but better to replace with ceramic board.

Use a mask near that puppy.

What are the specis on your kiln? Date etc Manufacturer could give info you need.

The asbestos/ ceramic fibre top looks like a home jobbie to replace a faulty top., the sag is greatly reducing your interior space.

Check all other stuff needing work. Could get expensive.

 

The kiln was very cheap so I am happy to spend a little bit to get it in good working order. Thanks for the information and advice!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much. Ill get a sample sent off in the next few days. Do you by any chance  know if the insulation can be changed or if it renders the kiln useless?

I picked up an old kiln and am concerned the insulation may be asbestos? How can I find out if it does?
