Snowflake in Square Texture Fusing Tile

The Snowflake in Square Texture Fusing Tile (DT38) from Creative Paradise is a 10 inch by 10 inch ceramic tile with a raised snowflake in square surface pattern. To use it, lay a sheet of fusible glass or a pre-fused blank directly on the primed tile surface, then fire the kiln so the glass softens and picks up the textured design. The 10 inch by 10 inch footprint, with a 14.5 inch diagonal, accommodates a range of glass blank sizes in a single firing.

Like all ceramic fusing tiles, this one is COE agnostic. Place a single or double layer of sheet glass on the primed surface, add frit accents if desired, and run a full fuse cycle. The raised snowflake pattern transfers into the softened glass as the kiln heats. The tile is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Snowflake in Square Texture Fusing Tile make?
It impresses a snowflake in square design onto a sheet of fusible glass during a full fuse firing. The fired glass carries the raised pattern as a surface texture across up to a 10 inch square area.

What COE glass can I use on this tile?
Any COE. Ceramic fusing tiles are COE agnostic, so the same tile works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the tile before firing?
Coat the textured surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP, or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing your glass so the glass does not stick to the tile.

How much glass do I use with this tile?
The manufacturer's reference schedule is based on a double layer of COE96 glass with frit. Adjust the layers and frit to suit your project, and test a first run when the result matters.

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 fusing schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the textured tile 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 to the tile.
• Place a double layer of sheet glass on the primed surface. Add frit between or on top of the layers as desired. The snowflake in square pattern transfers into the glass as it softens during firing.
• The tile is COE agnostic. Use a full fuse schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak temperature for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the textured glass. Re-coat the tile 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): for a double layer of glass with frit.

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