Product Description

Transform your powdered frit into a firm, non-sticky clay like material! Use with liquid medium (#96204, sold separately) to make your own versatile glass clay. When used together this unique two-part kit consisting of a powdered binder and liquid medium allows artists to combine any powder frit with water to create their own claylike, modeling material.

Roll it flat, cut it, create coils or press it into a silicone mold or texture sheet to form it. You can even sand it when it's dry to finalize your shape before firing. Thin with water to create beautiful palette-knife textures.

Made with non-toxic, food-grade ingredients. Modeling glass does not affect the compatibility of the glass. Compatible with all glass COEs.

Instructions for Mixing a 4 oz 90 COE Batch:

  • 1/2 cup plus 2 level teaspoons glass powder
  • Two 1/2 level teaspoons powdered binder
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons water
  • 1 teaspoon liquid medium

Instructions for Mixing a 4 oz 96 COE Batch:
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 level teaspoons glass powder
  • 1 level tablespoon powdered binder
  • 1/4 cup plus 2-1/4 teaspoons water
  • 1 teaspoon liquid medium

Note: Combine dry ingredients thoroughly, then add water and mix. Add liquid medium last. It is important to mix in this order only.

Vendor Tips:
  • The binder and liquid medium burn out during the early stages of firing leaving behind just the glass. It is recommended to vent your kiln to 1000* degrees F.
  • Modeling Glass can be stored in a plastic airtight container. If you plan to store it longer than a few days, wrap the ball in plastic wrap before placing in into the container. Modeling Glass will keep for several months.
NOTE: The mixing instructions for Modeling Glass were developed for use with Bullseye Glass powders. The ratio for mixing Modeling Glass with Oceanside/Spectrum/Uroboros or other powders is slightly different. INCREASE BINDER from two 1/2 level teaspoons (6g) to 1 level tablespoon (7g). INCREASE WATER from 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons (60g) to 1/4 cup plus two 1/4 teaspoons (70g).

Delphi Tips:
  • Use silicone mats when working with wet clay to avoid clay sticking to your work surface.
  • Pre-fire glass accents to be added to projects in the future
  • We found firing to a tack fuse between 1300° – 1360° F
  • If you stored clay dries out you can reconstitute it with a bit of water, we found using a spray bottle works great

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
