New kiln shelf won't pick up wash in spots.....

[Janz]

I got a round 12" or 13" shelf awhile ago, and when I tried to use it, there's this one like, streak that won't accept kiln wash (it's a BE brand)

So, I let it dry, sanded off the wash, took a good look at the thing and it seems ok. I don't know what the deal is here.... I'm not up to applying 20 layers of wash just to get this one wierd patch covered.
Is there something I can do? Sand down the shelf in some way?
Or just give in and get shelf paper.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Fire it up to 1000. It should be fine to coat after that.
