I just bought a cple of new stainless floral former and Hitemp1800
Sprayed them, fired them to 700.
Put glass on when cold, set in kiln with some that I have had for years, the glass on new former stuck and broke, older ones were fine.
Any ideas?
tks

poor coverage of the BN? Sandblast the steel clean and try regular kiln wash, a few coats.

I agree with Bert, sandblast and use kiln wash.

I always put a slightly oversize disc of fiber paper over the end of the floral former. Just a bit paranoid about the glass getting stuck.
