Create a wonderfully unique and eye-catching star shape with this fabulous mould. Heart shape also available.
Star is approximately 6cm across.
Mould size: 10.5cm x 8cm x 1.4cm. Fits in the HotStart Pro and SC2 kilns.
Bullseye Code: 8174
Fill weight is approximately 12g. This is just a guide, we recommend filling with fine frit using the instructions in the Small Pod Mould Guide.
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.
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:
Firing Schedule:
This schedule is a guideline and you should adjust it to suit your particular kiln, or for different thicknesses of glass. By lowering the temperature to 720°C the piece will shrink less and have a rougher ‘Sugary’ look:
