Hi, I recently bought the mold to make the pendants and earring sets. I used a kiln wash on the mold, coating 5 times. I fused the glass and now cannot get the glass out of the mold. Any suggestions?

You will want to start with a boron nitride mold release we recommend MR-97 item number 93701. You can find a video on our website with application instructions. You will then fill your mold with frit (and the amount is based entirely on the expected thickness of the finished piece.) Just be careful not to overfill as that can create problems when you go to release your project from the mold. You can do some amazing work with these molds but it will likely take some trial and error before you get consistent results. Good luck and have fun!

Reinforcing Stained Glass Windows Comment

Hi, I am working on a panel using the copper foil method of construction. The panel is 21" tall and 30" wide. After reading thru some of the responses here, I am a little confused. Should I be reinforcing my panel horizontally or vertically every 18"?

Does anyone have an answer for this? I have destroyed 3 molds, have glass stuck in two more. I followed all the directions using the recommended primer.

Patinas & Foil Tips Comment

by Namabiiru on Apr 13, 2012

Can anyone help me with patinas? I love the look of antique gold patinas, but every time I try to apply it I wind up with a mess which I have to cover up with black patina. No matter how thoroughly I clean and wirebrush my lead lines, when I apply the antique gold I initially get that beautiful color I'm looking for, but then it suddenly turns to a bright copper color and only a few spots keep the antique gold color. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My black patinas are generally pretty flawless.
