Thanks Stephen for the response.  I thought I had good coverage on the shelf and your directions are what I do.  I’m using a newer wash so maybe I need to make some changes with this wash.  When I did the first piece on this wash application I had a really hard time getting the wash off the back of the piece.  (I ended up soaking in vinegar and it worked like a charm!)  So maybe more came off the shelf that I expected so…  I often thought I wish I could afford fiber paper for each firing but the lottery hasn’t come through.  I’ll redo the shelf and on to the next project!

I’ve learned a lot this week – which means I’m learning from mistakes.
