Piece of Fibre Blanket in bottom of Kiln

[Fruddy]

Hi folks,

A few people have recommended putting a square of fibre-blanket in the bottom of my kiln whilst garaging beads.  Is it okay just to use the bog standard fibre-blanket for this purpose - I got a big square of it from Martin with my kit setup - or is it something different that needs to be used?

I also got a couple of small Pyrex dishes from Tesco's last night, for batch-annealing - is it okay just to pile up the beads in the dish, on top of each other, or do they need to be laid flat and not touching?

Thanks

Think you need to be careful with Ivory glass so I was told that could be sticky, so I always put them separate.
