Lydia, You can slump that back flat. It might has shrunk some but probally not. Question... is what you are calling a crack really a crack or an air bubble? Going to full fuse temp will not get rid of it, if it is an air bubble. If it is a crack, which I doubt that looking in a kiln for a moment wou...

Boy, this sounds like exact science. How close do you need to get for these measurements. How long will the product hold up in solution.. ie the shelf life. Maybe I want to use a whole 20 LB package to 6 gals of water and mix it all up at one time.. or do you add water to the 20 lbs till you get to ...

Very important.... when you push the pins in do not wiggle, that will make the holes larger. Just push straight in. Also, if you get a change... purchase new pins (or as Paragon calls them staples). The new staples are not softened by repeated firings and will go in easier and straighter and hence s...

No need to retro fit that one.. add a stand along controller and plug your kiln into the wall controller. You can get one from Skutt, Paragon, or other manufactures and there are people that also build them or get you the parts and directions and you can get the metal box and assemble it yourself. S...

Bingo.. that is it.. the thermocuple is fine.. Put your shelf back in and things will be fine.. the fiberboard will not get as hot as the shelf will so things fire cooler. The air in the kiln is still getting to 1500° which is what the thermoccouple is measuring. The difference is that since the fi...

Richard, I am looking at the wiring diagram for your kiln. It has 3 sets of elements and 2 relays. If the 3 elements come on then the 2 relays are working. The problem can be in the thermocouple or in the electricity. A thermocouple can have a creep and slowly go bad, but usually not a big jump at o...
