TIPS:  

1. Each main rope twist is comprised of many other smaller ropes.   Just un-twisted to get the desired Diameter or even re-twist individual strands to desires diameter and texture.
2. You can wet the rope to get it to conform to the desired shape and let dry before layering glass over it.  It is recommend not soak or rinse well in order to maintain the release factor.
3. You can dip in Kiln Wash and shape it to desired form

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: ALWAYS wear a mask when using refractory rope fire and especially when cleaning up and/or kiln fiber paper, after firing it in your kiln, because you do not want to breath in the ceramic dust! These refractory fiber papers when heated above 1800 degrees F (982 degrees C) transform to Cristobalite, a form of crystalline silica, which may cause lung injury. Does not contain asbestos.
