Dolphin Seascape Textured Fusing Tile

The Dolphin Seascape Textured Fusing Tile from Creative Paradise is a 13 inch by 7 inch ceramic texture tile that imprints a dolphin seascape design onto the surface of a fused glass panel. Lay a double layer of glass with frit across the textured face, fire to a full fuse, and the glass softens and settles into the relief, picking up the dolphin and wave pattern as it fuses.

The tile footprint is 13 inches by 7 inches, with a diagonal of 14.75 inches. Like all ceramic kiln molds, this tile is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly. Creative Paradise provides a full fuse firing schedule for a double layer of COE96 glass with frit.

What does the Dolphin Seascape Textured Fusing Tile make?
It produces a fused glass panel with a dolphin seascape relief on the surface. The finished panel follows the tile footprint at 13 by 7 inches and works well as a decorative piece, a fused blank for further processing, or a framed panel.

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

How do I use the texture tile?
Prime the textured surface, place a double layer of glass with frit on the textured face, and fire to a full fuse. The glass softens and picks up the dolphin seascape pattern from the tile below.

How do I prep the tile before firing?
Coat the textured surface with a boron nitride mold primer or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing glass. Re-coat as needed between firings.

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 firing schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the textured surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash, and let it dry completely before placing glass so the glass does not stick.
• Place a double layer of sheet glass with frit on the textured face of the tile. The frit adds color and detail as the glass fuses down into the surface relief.
• 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 fused panel. Re-coat the tile surface 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), 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.
