FAQS
Slumping form information
Please wash the form with soapy water and preheat it to 500 degrees to burn off any production residues. No Hold is needed. The form may turn dark gray or blue after heating, which is normal. Apply 3-5 coats of Boron Nitride spray, such as ZYP or MR97, to prevent the glass from sticking to the form. Kiln wash may also be used, and the form has been sanded to help it adhere. To coat with kiln wash, heat the form to 500°F, remove it from the kiln, and then brush or spray it. The form will need 3-5 coats of kiln wash. Shelf paper may also be used
Firing Schedule
All kilns fire differently, and it's up to the artist to find the firing schedule that works best for your kiln. If you have a current schedule, I suggest sticking with it. Always test fire first! Test firing is crucial for seeing how your kiln responds to the firing schedule.
Firing schedules for slumping glass depend on mold size, kiln size, and glass thickness. It's recommended to test-fire with scrap glass first to find a successful firing schedule.
As with all schedules, you may need to adjust to fit your kiln's performance. Test firing is critical.
Please Note
These forms are meant for slumping glass and should not be used for full, tack, or contour glass fusing.

Wall Plates
Wallplates have a brushed or swirled finish on the front and a welded bracket on the back for hanging. Instructions for mounting glass are included with your order.
Wall Plates may have machine and very small weld indentations caused by the manufacturing process. These indentations are about the size of a pinhead and cannot be avoided. They are ground down to lessen their effect. Backs may be painted.
