CERAMIC FIBER PAPER & BOARD

CERAMIC FIBER BOARDS are non-asbestos boards, woven loosely together to form boards that withstand the high temperatures of fusing and the corrosive effects of molten glass.  Use as a lining to protect the expensive firebrick in your kiln.  Also can be used as a heat proof pad to put on your workbench to set your Rapid Fire Kiln or slumping molds on.  When first fired, fiber boards will turn brown, as the sugar based binder burns off.  (Provide ventilation!)  

Available in three thicknesses:  1/4", 1/2" and 1".

FIBERFRAX FIBER PAPER can be used in place of shelf primer.  Does not stick to your project, and gives a slightly textured surface to the back of your work.  1/8" paper is good for many firings, the 1/32" paper for a few.

 		BULLSEYE THINFIRE SHELF PAPER is a heat-resistant light weight ceramic impregnated paper. ThinFire shelf paper provides excellent separation between kiln shelf and glass in kiln firing applications up to 1600ºF. Compared to kiln washes, ThinFire reduces shelf preparation time and improves surface release qualities.  Benefits (when compared to more conventional ceramic fiber materials):

  • Glossier finish on the shelf side of your finished project 
  • Less binder burnout odor
  • Lighter weight for easier handling and storage
  • Easily cut to size
  • This product is good for a single firing only
  • Once fired, removed residue with vacuum cleaner or gently brush dust into waste receptacle
  • Unlike similar products on the market, this product is not nearly as likely to curl during firing, cause hazing on the edges of your piece and won't leave a residue fused to the bottom of your pieces.

Sold as

  • 20½x20½" squares--(#0235)  $3.58/ea  

  • 20½x20½" squares - pack of 10--(#02350)  $33.98/pk of 10

  • 20½x20½" squares--pack of 100  (#02351)  $253.98/pk of 100  

  • Roll, 41 in wide by 250 ft long  (#02355)  $679.98/roll

This item has been one of our best selling hot glass items. Try a few sheets and see why!
For best results, cut the ThinFire paper a bit larger than the piece you are firing. Weigh down the exposed corners of the paper with scraps of glass to prevent curling during firing. ThinFire Paper may leave a slight haze on the edge of your work if the curled edge is allowed to touch your piece.
