Frequently Asked Questions / About Capital Ceramics |
| |
| |
Why do I need to use large cones when my kiln has an automatic shut-off? |
| |
Large cones verify the performance of the shut-off device. If the large cone hasn´t bent properly when the kiln shuts off, or if it has bent too much, it indicates that the shut-off should be checked. The shelf cone is the final judge of the firing process, not the cone in the automatic shut-off. |

| |
Why should I use lead free glazes and how should they be fired for best results? |
| |
Lead free non-toxic glazes should always be used for utility food containers and serving dishes. They should always be used when working with children. |
