The Double Succulent Casting Mold from Creative Paradise casts two succulent shaped glass pieces in a single firing: a large piece at 4.5 inches in diameter and a smaller piece at 2.75 inches in diameter. The mold footprint is 9.5 inches by 6 inches, giving you room to fire both cavities together in one session.
Creative Paradise lists a fill weight of about 90 grams for the large cavity and 36 grams for the small. Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Load the cavities with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the succulent shape. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.
What does the Double Succulent Casting Mold make?
It casts two succulent shaped glass pieces in one firing: a large piece at 4.5 inches in diameter and a smaller piece at 2.75 inches in diameter.
What COE glass can I use in this mold?
Any COE. Ceramic casting 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 much glass do I need per cavity?
Creative Paradise lists about 90 grams for the large succulent cavity and 36 grams for the small one. Fill weight varies with how full you want each piece, so weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.
How do I prep the mold before casting?
Coat the cavities 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 adding 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 casting schedule suited to your glass and kiln.
- Prime both cavities 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 each cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap. For a tack fired surface, use 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.
- Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast pieces. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
- The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.
