How do I prevent my kiln turing black during lustre firing?

Protecting your kiln during lustre firing

If you do not want the inside of your kiln lid to turn black during a gold or lustre firing, tape a piece of asbestos paper on the underside of the lid. Lap the paper over the outside edges and tape to the top of the lid. The temperature is not hot enough to effect the masking tape on top and the paper will protect the lid.
