spanning the shelf joints

My kiln uses three pieces to make up the kin shelf. Of course, I need to make something bigger than one of the sections.
Can I cover the shelves, spanning the joints with a thick (1/8") shelf paper, put thinfire on top of that and solve the problem, or am I going to see the joints in my end product? Any solutions? By the way, I want to use the thinfire for the glossy bottom surface.

Thanks,

Fiber paper will work fine, with or without thinfire on top.

Thank you sir. Didn't want to waste the glass, the paper, the electric, or the time.
