Description
Skutt Kiln Wash is a ceramic powder mixed with water to create a paintable slurry that protects kiln shelves from glaze drips, preventing pots from sticking and extending shelf life, though applying it to the kiln floor is debated, with some manufacturers suggesting it affects thermodynamics. You mix the dry powder to a creamy consistency (like pancake batter) and apply 2-3 thin coats with a brush to kiln shelves, letting it dry, and it can be fired on.
How to apply
- Mix: Combine dry powder with water to a creamy, non-runny consistency (like pancake batter), ensuring no lumps.
- Apply: Use an old paintbrush to apply 2-3 thin, even coats to the top of your kiln shelves.
- Dry: Let the coats dry completely.
- Fire: You can fire the shelves with the wash on them; it's often fired on for bisque and glaze firings
