Olive Textured Soap Dish Slumping Mold

The Olive Textured Soap Dish mold from Creative Paradise is a slumping form that shapes a glass blank into a small soap dish with an olive branch texture pressed into the surface. Place a pre-cut or pre-fused sheet over the form, fire, and the glass softens and settles into the dish shape in a single pass.

The mold measures 6 inches long by 4 inches wide with a 1 inch depth, and a diagonal of 7.25 inches. Creative Paradise includes a One-and-Done slump schedule suited to a single layer of COE96 sheet glass with frit added on top. Like all ceramic molds, it is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Olive Textured Soap Dish mold make?
It slumps a glass blank into a small soap dish with an olive branch texture on the surface, in one firing.

What COE glass can I use with this mold?
Any COE. Ceramic slumping 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.

What size glass blank do I need?
Cut or pre-fuse a blank that covers the 6 inch by 4 inch mold footprint with enough overhang to drape down into the 1 inch depth of the form. Test a first run to dial in your blank size and schedule.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the mold surface 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 placing your 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 slumping schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the mold 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 pre-cut or pre-fused glass blank over the form. The One-and-Done schedule is designed for a single layer of COE96 sheet glass with frit added on top, fused and slumped in one firing.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slumping schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the finished soap dish. 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.

One-and-Done (COE96): for a single layer of COE96 glass with frit.

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