Textured Coaster Draping Mold

The Textured Coaster Draping Mold from Creative Paradise is a slumping form that shapes pre-made fusible glass sheets or fused blanks into coasters sized to fit a standard drink glass base. Place a prepared glass piece over the textured form, fire to a slump temperature, and the glass softens and settles over the surface by gravity, picking up the mold's texture as it cools. The mold measures 12.5 inches long by 6 inches wide, with a diagonal of 13.5 inches.

Like all ceramic kiln molds, this form is COE agnostic, so it works with COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Creative Paradise publishes a full fuse schedule for a double layer of COE96 glass and a tack fire schedule for a single layer. The mold is reusable across many firings when primed and cared for properly. Glass is not included.

What does the Textured Coaster Draping Mold make?
It shapes fusible glass into coasters that fit a standard drink glass base, with the mold's surface texture transferred to the glass during the slump firing.

How does draping work with this mold?
Place a pre-fused blank or sheet glass over the prepared form and fire to a slump temperature. The glass softens and drapes by gravity, taking on the coaster shape and picking up the surface texture of the mold. This is a draping mold, not a frit casting mold, so no cavity filling is involved.

What COE glass can I use?
Any COE. Ceramic molds are COE agnostic, so COE96, COE90, and other fusible glass all work with the same mold. Match your slump schedule to the glass you are using.

How do I prep the mold before firing?
Coat the mold surface with a boron nitride primer such as 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 slump 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 your glass so the glass does not stick.
• Place a pre-fused blank or sheet glass over the prepared form. Use a double layer of glass with the published full fuse schedule, or a single layer with the tack fire schedule.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slump schedule matched to your glass, adjusting the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the slumped coasters. 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

These are suggested COE96 starting schedules, not a guarantee. Every kiln fires differently. Test a small run and adjust the schedule for your glass and kiln.

Full Fuse (COE96, double layer, 6mm):

Tack Fire (COE96, single layer, 3mm):

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