Boron Nitride
Boron nitride is another good product that can work well on the floor of a fiber kiln. It usually is
applied from a spray can that only takes 3 thin coats (not thick coats) to give a slippery non-stick
surface. A lightly sprayed coat is required between firings. You can use this over kiln wash on the
floor or shelf, but you cannot apply kiln wash over Boron Nitride. While applying Boron Nitride
with a spray can, protect the walls of the kiln and the coils from over-spray using paper. Isopropyl
alcohol can be used to remove Boron Nitrate over-spray on some surfaces. While Boron Nitrite is
great for mold slumping firing at about 1280°F, it tends to stick to glass if taken much over 1425-
1450°F. We use it as a backup to the shelf paper that is placed on top.
Controllers
The TAP Controller has been preprogrammed with some regular 90 and 96 COE glass programs,
and also several programs for our Fiber Kilns. The controller will show this programs by name.
Any of these can be changed for your desired effect on the glass.
Note:
Never Leave a Firing Kiln Unattended!
