I use them at Northern Clay Center. Lots of use/abuse there. They
seem to hold up well.

Treat them just like any other cordierite/high alumina shelf.
Requires kiln wash.
Easily takes ^10/11 reduction firing.
Paul Geil now uses them for his shelf kits for the Geil kilns.
He was burned with a whole bunch of Chinese made nitride bonded shelves a
few years ago.
His customers were having too many cracks/breaks, he gave up on them.

I got one to test, as well. I love how light it is. It's only been a
year, but it seems just fine. No problems.

Thanks Karin,
One more question, please. Do you use kiln wash on your shelves?
I don't use anything on my advancers except alumina hydrate,but will if I
need to.
Thanks,
Rikki
