Overview
A refractory half shelf sized for the AMACO Excel EX-232SF and EX-226/226SF kilns. It measures 15 1/2 by 7 3/4 inches, is 5/8 inch thick and is rated to Cone 10, so the same shelf works for bisque, low-fire and high-fire loads. Set two side by side to build a full layer, and stack layers on kiln posts at whatever spacing each load needs. AMACO also lists it for its JS-26, JS-39, P-6 and AS-1809, AS-1813 and AS-1822 kilns. Brush the top with kiln shelf wash before use, so glaze drips come away cleanly and the shelf lasts longer.
