Title: Have I stacked my kiln the right way - Help please!
Post by: Tollgate-Debs on September 13, 2009, 03:43:38 PM
Hi All

I'm not a Muppet, but the instruction defeated me for the Maxi, especially as they were a bit short on pictures!  I'm about to batch anneal for the first time and would like a second opinion as to how I've set the kiln up. 

Is this the right way?  None of the beads are touching.

I'd appreciate some feedback please - thanks in advance.

Hi Debs, it looks OK to me! I put beads into my Maxine like that and they are fine.  ;D

Happy annealing   Hazel  xx

The Beaders will be able to tell you exactly how to place the beads mate so I'll leave that to them.
But with regards to the kilns, as long as you arn't impeding the door operation, you can pretty much laod the kiln in any way you suit, they are fantastically versatile. ;)
