Thin Firing Sheet. This is the answer for those who are enameling small, hard to put on a trivet items. This suggestion came from Barbara Colby of Colby Handcrafted. She is a glass fuser and came across this item . It is remarkable in that it does not stick to your enamel, or significantly mar the surface. I have found that it will leave a haze on the enamel surface, noticeable in transparents, not so much so on opaques. Because you are using a flat trivet you would eliminate warpage.

Procedurally you would enamel the back side of your object and then when you are ready to fire the front side, you place this paper on the firing rack or base plate and your piece on top of that. This "paper" looks similar to drawing paper. It is a ceramic impregnated paper and able to withstand firing to 1600 degrees F. It is a one time use paper, so cut the paper to fit your object. When it is fired it is reduced to a dusty tissue. As with all ceramic fiber material, avoid breathing the residual dust.

The sheets are 20.5" x 20.5" and cost $2.97ea., 12 sheets for $29.70. Part Number is TFS.

Light Weight Trivets With Legs These light weight trivets do not require the use of a firing rack underneath. This reduces the amount of heat that would normally be absorbed by the rack when firing and also makes the overall load a little lighter when loading into the furnace. These trivets feature small legs that allow your firing fork to slip underneath.
