Deer Frit Cast-Stand Up

The Deer Frit Cast-Stand Up mold from Creative Paradise casts one deer figure measuring 4 inches long by 3 inches wide. The overall mold footprint is 6 inches by 5 inches. To make the deer stand upright, the cast piece is slumped in a second firing on the Small Stand Up Slumping Mold, which bends the flat shape into a standing posture.

Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Fill the cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the deer shape. Creative Paradise lists a fill weight of about 50 grams. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Deer Frit Cast-Stand Up mold make?
It casts one flat deer figure, 4 inches long by 3 inches wide, in a single firing. A second slumping step on the Small Stand Up Slumping Mold gives the deer its standing posture.

How do I make the deer stand up?
After the initial cast firing, place the flat deer piece on the Small Stand Up Slumping Mold and run a second kiln firing. That slumping step bends the piece into its upright form.

How much glass do I need for the cavity?
Creative Paradise lists about 50 grams. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters, as fill weight can vary with glass type and desired thickness.

What COE glass and prep does it need?
Any COE works, since ceramic casting molds are COE agnostic. Prime the cavity with a boron nitride spray such as ZYP or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before adding glass.

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 casting schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the cavity with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before adding glass so the glass does not stick.
• Fill with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap. For a tack fired surface, Creative Paradise recommends using powder and fine frit, filled uniformly to about a quarter inch.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• To make the deer stand upright, slump the finished cast piece on the Small Stand Up Slumping Mold in a second kiln firing.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast piece. 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.

Full Fuse (COE96):

Tack Fire (COE96): for a tack fired surface, fill uniformly to about a quarter inch with powder and fine frit.

*The 950 F hold marked with an asterisk is the anneal soak for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
