Unicorn Frit Casting Mold

The Unicorn Frit Casting Mold from Creative Paradise casts a single unicorn silhouette in each firing, with the finished piece measuring 4 inches by 3 inches. The mold footprint is 5.5 inches long by 4.5 inches wide and 1.5 inches tall. Fill the cavity with about 30 grams of frit, billets, or stacked sheet scrap and fire to a full fuse to produce the cast unicorn shape.

Creative Paradise designed this mold to pair with the Small Stand Up Slumping Mold, which allows the finished unicorn to stand upright on its own after a second slumping step. Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when properly prepped and cared for.

What does the Unicorn Frit Casting Mold make?
It casts one unicorn silhouette per firing, finished at 4 inches by 3 inches, in a mold that is 5.5 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.

Can the finished unicorn stand on its own?
Yes, when paired with the Small Stand Up Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise. The unicorn is cast in this mold first, then placed in the stand-up mold for a second firing so it stands upright on its own.

How much glass do I need per casting?
Creative Paradise lists about 30 grams per cavity. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters, as fill weight can vary with how full you want the finished piece.

What COE glass can I use?
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 do I prep the mold before casting?
Coat the cavity 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 the cavity 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.
• To make a unicorn that stands on its own, pair this mold with the Small Stand Up Slumping Mold for a second firing step.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast piece. 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.

*The 950 F hold marked with an asterisk is the anneal soak for COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
