For china painting, enamelling, BRONZclay, COPPRclay or glass work, you'll need a thicker shelf and four shelf posts. This comes as an optional extra kit which is available for purchase and consist of one 178mm x 178mm x 15mm cordierite shelf and four 25mm x 25mm x 12mm posts.The thick heavy shelf retains heat and the shelf posts allow hot air to circulate. Some materials, glass in particular, need an even temperature. Cordierite is a magnesium aluminium silicate that resists thermal distortion and fracture. A thick shelf, on posts, heats and cools evenly: particularly important for glass work and with BRONZclay and COPPRclay..

**** MAY 2022. Due to world wide supply chain issues, Paragon Industries have added a new controller option. It is the Paragon Touch Express which is manufactured by the Bartlett Instrument Company. The Paragon Touch Express will now be the current and only alternative available. It will replace the now out of stock Sentry Express 5.0-3 Key Controller which is manufactured by Orton Ceramic Foundation.
As of 2 May 2022 Paragon Industries will be using this smaller version of their Sentinel Touch Screen Controller in lieu of the Sentry Xpress 5.0-3 Key Controller. By offering this proven, high quality, touchscreen technology, Paragon Industries will be able to maintain production and their lead times. Please be aware that all new kiln orders will receive kilns with a Bartlett Touch Screen Controller NOT the Sentry Express 5.0-3 Key Controller. Paragon Industries are currently researching additional controller options. ****
