I've searched the archives and couldn't find an answer. Is Primo kiln wash suitable for high firing, e.g. 1700F for combing?
Cheers,
Suzan

Hi Suzan -
"Primo is designed for fusers who fire on the high end of the fusing range, specifically 1500-1550 instead of the usual 1425-1475". This is what the brochure says that I got with my primo. Combing would definitely be at the high end of the fusing range. Hope this helps. Carol

If so please let me know?
Thanks

I've been using Bullseye kiln wash and it works fine for combing. It does stick to the glass after a combing, but comes off with vigourous scrubbing. If there are trace amounts of kiln wash left, I use "Velvet Etch"
etching creme to remove it.
I recently switched to Primo because I absolutely hate scraping shelves, and Primo rubs off easily. I was concerned that, because it does rub off so easily after fusing, that it might not act as a good separator for high-range firing, i.e. over 1650F.
I wasn't able to find a website for Hotline, anyone know it?
Cheers,
Suzan

Hotline makes a kiln wash for high temp firing called appropriately enough, "HI-FIRE" Shelf Primer. Wherever you are getting your Primo from should sell this too.

the hotline hi-fire flavor of kilnwash works well, also soaking in vinegar removes kilnwash afterwards.....

I believe Hotline is Ed Hoy's (Creative Craftsmen) brand name.
I haven't used the Primo yet. Is there the same kind of health hazards with the dust as with thinfire? I wouldn't think so, but then you never know.
