Papyros, Kiln Liner and Bullseye Thinfire papers
Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 5:31 pm
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum but have used it a resource for quite a while. I've used Bullseye Thinfire (both old without logo, and new with logo) and Kiln Liner (currently the favorite) for fusing to achieve a very flat back. Usually I'm using system 96, but sometimes float plate or other glasses. When I try to fire a piece much larger than 12" across, the paper will often shrink and separate, and leave visible traces of the gap on the back glass surface. I've never used Papyros, but it seems that it is stronger as I hear people saying that you may even get more than one firing out of it. Does anyone know if it would be subject to the same shrinking/tearing phenomenon? Is there a way to prevent this from happening with the Kiln Liner?
