Yep, you can definitely reuse the AMACO Pointed Stilts 1-1/2 Inch. They're a favorite among pottery folks for holding glazed pieces in the kiln without making a mess. These stilts have a sturdy stoneware base with three metal points that keep your pottery steady and prevent glaze from sticking to the kiln shelves.
From what we've found, they're pretty durable and can handle multiple firings. They're commonly used at temperatures like Cone 04 and Cone 05. A few people have even pushed it to Cone 6, though the manufacturer suggests they should ideally be used up to Cone 04, which works with most regular glaze and clay combinations.
The way they're designed also helps with air circulation around flat pottery pieces like coasters or plates, leading to an even firing. This reduces the chance of glaze mishaps like it running onto your shelf, which is super helpful for getting a neat finish.
However, one thing to watch out for is that while the stilts generally hold up well, there are occasional mentions of the metal posts bending under heavier loads or at higher temperatures than recommended.
So, while they’re sturdy, pushing beyond Cone 04 or using them for heavy pieces might be a stretch.
In a nutshell, our research indicates that AMACO Pointed Stilts are a solid and effective option for most glazing tasks. People usually appreciate how they help with keeping glaze tidy and achieving a professional-looking finish.
