Kiln dust falls from lid
Recently, i have been seeing kiln flakes baked into the surface of my glass. I have replaced some of the old pins, i washed the lid with a paragon brand cement, i have air compressed the heating elements and i was really hopeful the issue would have been resolved but it has NOT! IT IS DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY CRAZY! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Hi Kilninit,
Welcome to the WGB. If you want help on a particular topic or piece of equipment you will be more likely to get a useful answer if you include specifics. In this case the type of kiln you are using, make and model or, if homemade, a description of how it is made: fire brick with a fibreboard liner, kin brick, unlined, fibreboard in a metal 'box', with side elements or top elements, or both.
Expand your question a bit more with specific information and I'm sure someone will know the answer you need.
I've never experienced the problem you are having as my main kiln is a home-made fire brick kiln top elements on fibre blanket in an expanded metal lid. There is nothing to create dust. I'm sure others will be able to help you if you provide more information..
The problem has been mentioned many times on the Board. Did you do a search using the appropriate terms?
A quick search of the board found the following:
search.php?keywords=dust+dropping+from+ ... 0d71a87514
If you search using your own kiln's specifications you'll probably get better search results. The problem has appeared frequently so you're sure to find the answer. Expanding your question with your own kiln's details will
help board members provide useful answers.
Good luck with it.
