Make sure the shelf is completely dry before it goes into the kiln. A damp shelf can crack.

Overview
A refractory half round shelf made for the AMACO Excel EX-365SF and its sister kilns, the EX-344/344SF and EX-353SF. It measures 19 by 9 1/2 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. Two half shelves set side by side make a full layer, and four give you two layers. Stack the layers on kiln posts and change the spacing from one firing to the next. Coat the top with kiln shelf wash before first use, so glaze drips release and the shelf lasts longer.
