kiln wash on floor

I kiled washed the floor when my kiln was new. Recently I raked and glass spilled onto floor....When I removed the warm cabs from the floor the next day some of the brick floor came off with the cabs leaving indentations in the brick.....So upsetting....Should I reapply washto those areas?

sushi plates

a beaut!.....may I ask what glue do you use for the cylinder legs....I have tried many kinds and they keep coming off.....Also, do you layer transparant glass on each other to develop different hues? Really sleek and chic!
