Two Small Sunflowers Casting Mold

The Two Small Sunflowers casting mold from Creative Paradise casts two sunflower-shaped pieces in a single firing. The large sunflower measures 3.25 inches in diameter and the small one measures 2.75 inches in diameter. The mold footprint is 10 inches by 6 inches, making it a practical way to produce two complementary sunflower pieces at once for decorative cabochons, focal points in fused panels, or ornament blanks.

Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic. Fill each cavity with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fuse to the sunflower shape. Creative Paradise lists the fill weight at about 105 grams for the large cavity and 60 grams for the small one. As a kiln casting mold it is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Two Small Sunflowers mold make?
It casts two sunflower-shaped pieces in one firing: one at 3.25 inches in diameter and one at 2.75 inches in diameter. They suit decorative cabochons, panel focal points, suncatcher elements, and ornament blanks.

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 per sunflower?
Creative Paradise lists about 105 grams for the large cavity and 60 grams for the small cavity. Fill weight varies with how full you want each piece, so weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.

How do I prep the mold before casting?
Coat the cavities 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 both sunflower cavities 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 with frit, small billets, or stacked sheet scrap. For a tack fired surface, the manufacturer suggests powder and fine frit filled uniformly to about a quarter inch.
• 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 pieces. 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.
