I have been experimenting non-stop and having a ball!!
Now, I want to try Thin Fire since I read that it helps to reduce bubbles.
(blocks moisture rising up from kiln washed shelf?)
I understand that fiber paper needs to be fired before use, but wonder if that holds true for Thin Fire since it is only good for one use.
Any clarification and/or opinions and/or advice is welcome and appreciated.

glad your having a good time! kiln forming is very addictive.
You do NOT pre-fire thinfire. I use the thinfire all the time. Love it!! You'll really notice a difference in the backside of your piece using thinfire instead of firing directly on the shelf or using fiber paper.

Actually the bubbles it prevents are the ones that form underneath a piece because of various things...moisture, an uneven surface on the kiln shelf, your kiln god wants a libation, etc.
To prevent internal bubbles requires a different firing process than you may currently be using.
