kiln liner paper

MJ on tue 25 may 10


Does anyone use kiln liner paper for ceramics? I had just come across this
stuff the other and evidently the primary purpose is glass. i thought that
it would not work for ceramics because of the higher temperature, but
someone told me that they had used a kiln liner paper when they fired to
cone 10 (electric). Any experience with that?

Thx, MJ

I occasionally use Ceramic Fibre Paper if I have a glaze I suspect will run
off the pot, but I use the 3mm thick one for that, and only if the pot has =
a
big "foot-print".
Mostly I use scrap clay setters cut with a biscuit cutter!

I used it years ago when I was firing something that was covered in
copper oxide. It's expensive and it crumbles after a couple of uses--
but it really did protect my shelves.

Do you have a brand name for the paper that worked? I am about to fire som=
e
pieces with very runny glazes (new to me glazes) and would like to add a
protective layer until I get a handle on it. Also, how high did you fire?
I am planning on firing to cone 8-10.
thx, MJ

I don't know the brand--I bought it at Ceramic Supply of NY and NJ,
and it was not listed. I fired to ^6.

I've used liner paper a few times. At first I thought it was brilliant, =

but then I=3D20
started to notice that the undersides of some of my pots were really roug=

h. I=3D20
believe it was from when the paper burned, the ashes floated and marred t=

he=3D20
glaze before finally burning out.

If you don't glaze your bottoms at all, than you'd probably really like i=

t. But if=3D20
you glaze within the foot of your pot, you'll probably run into some of t=

he=3D20
same issues I did.

If you want to test it out, I can send you a single sheet which will cove=

shelf, or possibly two if you cut it to go under each individual piece.

------------
I've used fiber paper many times in glass fusing. It comes
in different thicknesses. I prefer kiln wash, because the
paper produces fumes. The thin paper also produces dust and
tends to curl at the edges.
