In the threads about fiber paper there's been a lot of discussion about pre-firing. I al so know that folks say it's not needed with thin-fire - but many times I get scuz on the edges of pieces with thin fire underneath. Woukd prefiring prevent this? (Or will thin fire crumble under prefiring?)

Thin fire can fall apart with pre-firing.
The new thin fire is supposed to be less likely to scuz the edges than the old.

But then, kiln wash doesn't scuz the edges at all. Imagine that! Brock
My memory is so good, I can't remember the last time I forgot something . . .

No pre-firing, either!

..apart from the pre-fire needed to dry the shelf, of course.
