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.
