I used old kiln shelf cut into 4 strips with a domestic tile cutter. The strips were supported on kiln posts.I put one post in each corner of the kiln shelf on which the melt would flow. Put a strip across the front and back of the kiln, then, according to the size of the pot I was using, placed 2 further strips at right angles suspended on the first two strips. The distance appart of these last 2 strips depends on the diameter of the plant pot. By placing the posts at each corner, it allows the maximum space on the shelf for the melt to form.
Kiln set up
