Faceted Flake Ornament Casting Mold

The Faceted Flake Ornament mold from Creative Paradise casts one angular snowflake-shaped ornament per firing, with the finished piece measuring 4.75 inches by 4.5 inches. The faceted cavity gives the cast glass a geometric, multifaceted surface, making it a useful option for display pieces, hanging decorations, or decorative accents. The mold footprint is 6.75 inches by 6 inches.

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 flake shape. Creative Paradise lists a fill of about 110 grams of glass. At that weight it is a substantial casting, and the mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Faceted Flake Ornament mold make?
It casts one snowflake-shaped ornament with a faceted surface, measuring 4.75 inches by 4.5 inches, in a single firing. The faceted cavity gives the finished glass piece angled planes that catch light from multiple directions.

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?
Creative Paradise lists about 110 grams per casting. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters, since fill weight can vary with how you load the cavity.

How do I prep the mold before casting?
Coat the cavity 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 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, the manufacturer suggests 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 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.

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