How do I keep elements from falling out of the element holders in the corner of a kiln?
- Sometimes with thick elements, especially in the corner of a DaVinci, Hercules or Easy-Load kiln, the elements will have a tendency to jump out or fall out of the corners.
- We do not recommend using pins to keep them in place. Instead we sell a small 1/4" high by 3/4" diameter ceramic washer that can be used to wedge the element in place.
- See the photograph for visual instructions.
- These can be kept in or removed once the elements have settled in place and are in no danger of popping out of the holders.
