Orton packages small cones in pairs to minimize breakage during shipping. This video shows how to Separate a pair of conjoined Small Orton Cones. Watch the PRODUCT VIDEO below to learn how to separate them.
Pyrometric cones measure heat-work (the effect of time and temperature). They are slender pyramids made from about 100 carefully controlled compositions. Each cone number is unique in measuring temperature within a small temperature range (less than 30°C). Cones measure the amount of heat absorbed over time. As the cone nears its maturing range, it softens and the tip begins to bend, drawn down by the influence of gravity.Junior cones are designed to be used in a KilnSitter.
Warning! Do not view cones above earthenware temperature with the naked eye as this may cause cataracts. View through welders goggles - sunglasses are not suitable as they filter out UV, but not the infra-red, which is the damaging wavelength in this case!

A cone pack is necessary to support the cones during firing. If you have a kiln sitter on your kiln, you should use Junior cones.

Use this silicon carbide kiln shelf cleaning block to remove glaze drips from kiln shelves. If glaze drips are left on a kiln shelf, they will melt again during firing and anything that comes into contact with it could stick to the shelf.
This kiln wash is suitable to protect your shelves in any firing UP TO Cone 10. Kiln wash is applied to kiln shelves to protect them from glaze drips. On a washed shelf, drips can be easily removed without gouging or marring the kiln shelf. This kiln wash is used successfully at all temperatures to Cone 10. Mix the kiln wash with water to a thin cream consistency. Apply only one coat at a time. Use a wide paintbrush or utility brush (a 2” - 3” wide, soft-bristle brush generally works best). Three individually fired-on coats of kiln wash are preferable. You may fire bisque or unglazed ware for the first two firings, but your shelves will not be completely protected against glaze drips until 3 coats have been applied. Most potters kiln wash only the tops of their kiln shelves. We discourage applying kiln wash to both sides of your shelf, but if you do, carefully check each shelf when loading to prevent kiln wash from flaking off and dropping onto your ware. When you’re applying kiln wash to your shelves for the first time, it helps to dampen the top of your shelves with a wet sponge or a water-filled spray bottle first. This makes the kiln wash go on easier and more evenly. If you notice that your kiln wash is flaking off, use a paint scraper (or something similar) to remove any loose bits, then reapply kiln wash. If glaze drips onto your shelf, use the paint scraper to pop the glaze drip off and clean up any loose flakes around the area, then dab some more kiln wash in the bare spot. COVERAGE EXAMPLE: furniture kits for a 10-sided kiln with the equivalent of 3 layers of kiln shelves, we include 2# of kiln wash. This is sufficient kiln wash to mix up and cover 3 full coats. You should also have extra dry kiln wash for later touch-ups in the future. We typically have 1# bags, 2# bags, and 5# bags already weighed out and available in our retail store for walk-in customers.
This classic disposable N95 particulate respirator is designed to help provide comfortable, reliable worker respiratory protection against certain non-oil based particles. The 3M™ Particulate Respirator is designed to provide at least 95% filtration efficiency against solid and liquid aerosols that do not contain oil. Advanced electrostatically charged microfibers make breathing easier and cooler. This mask features welded strap attachment and an adjustable noseclip for a custom fit and secure seal, reducing the potential for eyewear fogging. Because they are comfortable to wear and easy to use, workers are quick to accept and use maintenance-free respirators. Studies have shown they can provide protection equivalent to a rubber facepiece respirator... at much lower cost and greater convenience. This respirator contains no components made from natural rubber latex.

A LinkBoard with EasyView is required for upgrading existing kilns. Easy View Installation
These posts are safe to fire all the way up to cone 10. Square Kiln Post prices vary with height. If you have triangle posts, you can still use square posts in the same kiln load. It is more critical to make sure all of the posts under each shelf are the same height.
The staff at Bracker's think we can put together a post assortment based on our own experiences as well as the knowledge we've gleaned from our customers throughout the years. So here's what we've come up with, based on using 3 posts per shelf (either half or full): Includes 1-1/2" square posts in the following heights: 10 - 1" posts great for supporting the bottom shelf as well as stacking with another post for a little extra space 6 - 2" square posts for very small items, tiles, or for stacking with another post for extra space 12 - 4" square posts a very useful size for smaller projects 12 - 6" square posts a very popular and useful post height for most people 12 - 8" square posts place tall pots on the top shelf in the kiln, but when that isn't enough, these posts will help 1 pair Leather Welder's Kiln Gloves *These posts are safe to fire all the way up to cone 10!
