Description

Plattengobe (kiln wash) from Amaco is used to prevent glaze from sticking to kiln shelves and other kiln furniture during firing. The kiln wash is mixed with water to a cream-like consistency and applied with a brush in two coats to the top surface of kiln shelves. It is then fired to approx. 1000 °C before use.

Worn or older kiln shelves can be ground clean and re-treated using the same method. If applied too thickly, the kiln wash may flake off after firing. In this case, remove all old kiln wash and reapply from the beginning.

Amaco’s kiln wash in a jar (UT-AKW-1) should not be poured out, but mixed directly in the container with water.
