We currently run our dies and spindles through a pottery kiln to bake off all residue that is on the tooling but we had a kiln stick and almost burn the place down.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to clean the tooling, or a suggestion as to where I can find a good solid kiln for this? It doesn't need to be big, the tooling is fairly small.

Thanks for your time and help.
