Of course, glazed areas cannot be put directly on kiln shelves, or they will fuse with the shelf. If doing low fire, place your pieces on firing stilts. If doing mid to high fire, only glaze within 1/2" of the bottom of your piece (sometimes more if you have a runny glaze.) Wax the bottom of the pieces before glazing to make it easier to remove the excess glaze.
