Think about your slumping temperature

[Stephen Richard]

I have not had to re-apply kiln wahs to my moulds for years. If your kiln wash is chipping off after a few firings, you should consider at least two things:

Are you firing higher than you need?  usually 630 – 677C is enough with a longer or shorter soak is enough.

Are you putting a lot of kiln wash on the mould? A thin layer is most often better than a number and thicker layers.
