SilkeMat is a NON-CARCINOGENIC refractory fiber blanket that can be cut, molded, rigidized and formed into molds with no need for a respirator. It can be used with or without rigidizing. A high-grade boron nitride separator like ZYP can be used for art glass firings, but has not been found to be necessary. There is no “shot” in SilkeMat and most firings are clean, leaving only the texture of the fiber on the glass.
