Working Notes
No colour shift.
It may not be suitable for kilncasting when using a plaster/silica mould, or similar refractory, combined with high temperatures for an extended period. This combination may result in a glass object with a heavily devitrified and sometimes crazed surface. Testing recommended.
We have observed successful kilncastings with 000421 in open-faced, ceramic moulds with separators ZYP/boron nitride or Bullseye Shelf Primer. We have also observed success using 000421 in processes where heatwork exceeds the test for compatibility without the use of a plaster/silica refractory mould. Testing recommended.
Frits are versatile and can be used in:
-
- Pate de verre and kilncasting
- Kilnforming, including glass sketching and painting with light techniques
- Torchworking and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.
