Be Square Texture Fusing Tile

The Be Square Texture Fusing Tile from Creative Paradise is a ceramic tile that transfers a geometric square pattern into the surface of fused glass in a single firing. The tile measures 13 inches by 7 inches, with a diagonal of 14.75 inches, giving you a broad working surface for panels, decorative tiles, or art glass blanks.

To use it, prime the tile surface with a mold separator, lay a double layer of fusible glass on top, add frit if desired, and fire to a full fuse. As the glass softens and flows, it picks up the raised square texture from the tile, adding surface depth and dimension without any cold working. The tile is ceramic, COE agnostic, and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Be Square Texture Fusing Tile do?
It transfers a geometric square surface pattern into fused glass. Lay a double layer of fusible glass on the prepared tile and fire to a full fuse, and the glass picks up the tile's texture.

What COE glass can I use with this tile?
Any COE. Ceramic fusing tiles are COE agnostic, so the same tile works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Use a firing schedule matched to your glass.

How do I prepare the tile before firing?
Coat the tile surface with a boron nitride mold primer or kiln wash and let it dry completely before placing glass. This prevents the glass from permanently bonding to the tile surface.

What size glass can I use on this tile?
The tile is 13 inches by 7 inches with a 14.75 inch diagonal. Cut your glass to fit the tile or to your desired finished size within that footprint.

Working Notes

These are guidelines, not guarantees. Every kiln fires a little differently, so test a small run first when the result matters and follow a fusing schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the tile surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing glass so the glass releases cleanly after firing.
• Lay a double layer of fusible glass on the prepared tile surface. Add frit or inclusions on top before firing if desired.
• The tile is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the textured glass piece. Re-coat the tile with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these tiles.

Creative Paradise Suggested Firing Schedule

This is a suggested COE96 starting schedule, not a guarantee. Every kiln fires differently. Test a small run and adjust the schedule for your glass and kiln.

Full Fuse (COE96): for a double layer of glass with frit.

*Segment 4 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
