Purpose of Kiln Stickers*
a) To separate each board surface so that air can flow over each surface and
evaporate water. Fluted IronSticks provide better airflow between boards with no stain.
b) Stickers must be selected and placed so
that they give adequate support to minimize warping of the lumber and breakage and distortion of stickers.
IronStick products are hand-picked and selected for strength, straightness, and uniform dimension.
c) Stickers should be chosen to minimize stains that can develop within the lumber that contacts the stickers. IronStick species, fluted or flat, are stain-free. They have been used by kilns in the U.S. for many years with excellent results.
