Lotus Frit Casting Mold

The Lotus Flower Frit Casting Mold from Creative Paradise casts a single lotus flower disc measuring 7.75 inches in diameter. The mold itself measures 8.5 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches tall, with a suggested fill weight of 255 grams. The large format makes it well suited to wall pieces, decorative panels, or standalone art glass work.

Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Load the cavity with frit, billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the lotus flower shape. The same mold works with COE96, COE90, or any other fusible glass. It is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Lotus Flower Frit Casting Mold make?
It casts a single lotus flower disc, 7.75 inches in diameter, in one firing. The large scale makes it suited to wall art, decorative panels, or large focal pieces in art glass.

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 for the lotus cavity?
Creative Paradise lists about 255 grams. Fill weight can vary with how you load the cavity, so 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 the lotus flower cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap. For a tack fired surface, fill uniformly to about a quarter inch with powder and fine frit.
• 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.
