Thanks for your answers!

I did buy the thin paper. It was the only thing they came up with when I tried to describe in Spanish what I wanted. They do have something called "manta" which literally means "blanket". This is the stuff they cut up and put in fusing if you want to keep that part of the fused glass separate. (does that make sense?) That could be the fiber blanket. That's a better option? Do I just cut it & pop it in?

Kiln wash is definitely available. I know this is totally superficial, but I kinda don't want to "dirty" my first very-own lovely fresh new kiln! I've only been using it for about 6 months and it still have the 'new car look'. But... of course, I'm also aware that's it's probably best to protect, just in case. If this is really the best option, I will do it!

Now, I have a kiln shelf that came with the kiln. It's still wrapped up in plastic! So I have to kiln wash it first, right?

Thanks again!
