Large Easel Casting Mold

The Large Easel Casting Mold from Creative Paradise casts a glass easel blank with a finished size of 9 inches long by 8 inches wide. The mold body measures 11 inches long by 9.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches tall, giving the cavity enough depth to cast an easel that comfortably holds glass pieces up to 12 inches in length or diameter for display.

Creative Paradise lists a fill weight of 509 grams for this mold. Load the cavity with frit, billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the easel profile. Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Large Easel Casting Mold make?
It casts one glass easel blank, 9 inches by 8 inches. A second slump firing over the separate GM277 Angle Drape Stand mold, sold separately, sets the casting at its display angle. It. Once draped over GM277, the easel holds finished glass artwork up to 12 inches in length or 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?
Creative Paradise lists 509 grams for a full fill. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.

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, 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.
• Draped over GM277, the easel holds glass pieces up to 12 inches in length or diameter, suited to displaying finished fused glass panels and art tiles.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast easel. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.
