Hello, I am a first time forum user and a first time kiln user! I wondered if I could have some help with Kiln basics. I am trying to fire fingerprints pendants in silver clay. Do I put the pendants straight onto the kiln shelf? Or will the pattern of the shelf go into my pendants? How often does kiln firing of silver clay go wrong and for what reasons? (If clay not dry? Air bubble? Etc).
Any tips on the basics are very welcome! Many Thanks
