When I purchased it the person had a sheet metal circle cut out the same size of element so that it what they must have done. Unfortunately the person that owned was deceased so I could not ask questions. Much appreciated

I read the body is made of refractory porcelain and I wonder if the element plate is the same

I tried to take my small detail vibrating sander to it and it did not do much. I thought the same as you and wore my respirator when I did it. Have any idea how deep the elements are imbedded in it ? Also I wonder how thick the buildup is on it. Thanks for your help

Hard almost like a stoneware material. I would guess enamel.

No this is inside the kiln where you lay the items to get fired. If you look close you can see the heating element lines

I am new to this and i just acquired a trinkit studio kiln that works great but is dirty. A few places it flaked of in shallow chips f as can be seen in the picture. Any help on cleaning would be appreciated.
