Batt Wash

Batt Wash for Kiln Shelf Protection

Glaze runs can leave more than an unexpected finish on your pottery; they can also damage kiln shelves and cause ware to fuse to the shelf. Batt wash helps protect against this by creating a protective layer between the kiln shelf and your pottery.

Our selection includes a powdered blend for mixing with water and a ready-to-use option for brush application. Different pack sizes allow you to choose a quantity suited to occasional shelf maintenance or a busy studio’s firing schedule.

Batt wash should be applied to the top surface of the kiln shelf rather than props or kiln brickwork. When the protective layer becomes contaminated with glaze or worn, affected areas can be cleaned and renewed. Refer to each product’s preparation and application guidance before use.
