Hi, Kyle. It appears from the photos of the kiln that you do not use kiln wash on the shelves. I assume the absence of kiln wash allows you to flip them. While the blue glass is not hard to scrape off. But, how about the wads that stick? Cheers, -Bill
actually, a few firings ago i washed some of the shelves due to the runny oribe glaze. some didn't get washed. no problem with wads sticking. i just run a brick rub across the shelf and they fall off. some stubborn wads get knocked off with a chisel.

Gorgeous as always Kyle. Thanks for giving us a peek into the kiln while it's still hot. Kiln opening is like Christmas when you're a kid.
