Creating cast glass jewelry is a rewarding (and giftable) project. These molds make it easy to create professional-quality pendants in a single firing. Follow these simple tips for best results.

Preparing Your Mold
Always prime molds so glass releases cleanly.
Recommended options:

• ZYP Lubricoat (Aerosol): Easy application and removal; produces smooth surfaces.
• Casting Primer: Brush-on option; affordable and widely available (requires more cleanup).

• Add a base layer of medium clear frit.
• Sprinkle fine clear frit to level.
• Arrange murrini with tweezers.
• Lightly sprinkle fine clear frit to stabilize, leaving murrini visible.
• Fire using the recommended pendant schedule.

• Flip and refire pendants if the back looks better than the front.
• Combine transparent and opal frits for added depth.
• Experiment with different mold shapes for variety.
