Create beautiful glass butterflies of all colours with this clever mould. Pretty on their own or integrated into a larger piece. One mould produces two sizes of butterflies. On the mould’s reverse side is an integrated wing slumper enabling you to make your butterflies really lifelike. Why not also try the dragonfly mould?
Fill weight: 28 grams and 32 grams. Dimensions are approximately 3” each.
Outer dimensions: 193mm x 95mm (approx.).
When filling the mould, pile the frit in a pyramid or dome shape so the centre of the mould is filled higher than the edges. This helps the correct flow of glass during firing, lowering the risk of the glass 'grabbing' the mould sides as it fires:
We strongly recommend using ZYP Boron Nitride Spray with our casting moulds for the very best results. Primo Primer can also be used. Standard shelf primer is not suitable.
Suggested firing schedule when using Bullseye frit:
Segment | Rate (C/Hr) | Temp (C) | Hold Time |
1 | 165 | 735 | 10 mins |
2 | 999 (AFAP) | 482 | 60 mins |
Please note that all our moulds are hand-made and therefore the dimensions may vary slightly from those shown. Mould manufacturers allow a tolerance of up to 2cm.
All our moulds are designed for multiple use and with care should last for many firings.
