Cat Dish Slumping Mold

The Cat Dish Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise slumps a pre-fused or kiln-ready glass blank into a shallow round cat-themed dish in a single firing. The glass is placed over the form and fired until it softens and settles by gravity into the mold, producing a finished dish with an inner diameter of 4 inches and a depth of about 0.5 inches.

The mold footprint is 5.75 inches by 4.75 inches, with a total thickness of 1.75 inches and a diagonal of 8 inches. Like all ceramic slumping molds it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when primed and cared for properly.

What does the Cat Dish Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a glass blank into a shallow round cat-themed dish, finished at 4 inches in diameter and about 0.5 inches deep.

What size glass blank do I need?
Start with a square or round blank of about 5 to 5.5 inches, giving enough material to drape over the rim and settle into the 4 inch cavity. Test a piece and adjust to your preferred edge finish.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic slumping molds are COE agnostic, so the same mold works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the form with a kiln shelf primer such as a boron nitride spray (for example ZYP) or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing the glass so it does not stick to the form.

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 slumping schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the form with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing the glass so it does not stick.
• Place a pre-fused or kiln-annealed glass blank over the form. A blank of about 5 to 5.5 inches gives enough material to drape into the 4 inch cavity and settle to a clean edge.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slump schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the slumped dish. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.

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.

Slump (COE96):

*Segment 3 is the anneal soak at 950 F for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
