KB3d Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 This black dust has started to show in these spots on the floor under my L&L E-Quad Pro. I am very concerned. The kiln is in the garage. The garage is partially underground as we live on a hill. It does not seem like an excessively damp space. Is this rust? What else could it be? What can I do? The kiln is about 5 years young. Thanks for any insight! Karen B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 It's totally normal. The stand will rust a bit over time since it's not stainless steel. Also, there are steel plates underneath the body bands by the hinge and handles to give the screws something secure to grab onto, and they will rust over time. It's not from the humidity in the environment, it's the moisture in the kiln that burns out during firings. No worries. Nothing you can do besides vacuum up the rust. I've got an L&L e18T-3 with 2,200 firings and it has finally reached the point where I'm thinking about replacing the hinge (different hinge than on your kiln, not stainless).
