INSTRUCTIONS
All CDV molds come with a short instruction
sheet that covers the basics of priming, filling and firing the project.
Two different instruction sheets are provided, one for smaller molds and
one for larger molds.
These instruction sheets also include
firing instructions so you can program your kiln quickly and easily,
getting wonderful results the first time.
Each mold has a fill weight specified
which will allow you to anticipate your frit or powder needs. Fill
weights are given in grams. To convert to ounces, 28 grams will come out
to 1 ounce. There are 454 grams in a pound.

RECOMMENDED MOLD RELEASE

 |
PRIME THE
MOLD with PRIMO PRIMER Colour
de Verre and Sunshine recommend the use of Hotline Primo Primer
as
the mold release for all CDV molds. Primo Primer is a not the same
as your average shelf primer. To start out, it has a thinner
consistency and is a bright orange. The runny consistency allows
Primo Primer to coat the fine details of the CDV molds without
obscuring them. It will also withstand the hotter kiln conditions
used in pate de verre work.

LIQUID STRINGER
FOR SPECIAL EFFECTS |
 |
LIQUID STRINGER
Liquid Stringer Medium is a specially designed vehicle
that can be mixed with any brand or form of crushed glass, frits,
powders or enamels to make a formable pate-de-verre or paste of glass.
At room temperature, this glass paste can be molded or formed in a
variety of ways. It can be sculpted into 3-dimensional forms, squeezed
from a cake decorator, painted into a pate-de-verre mold, or formed into
decorative pattern bars. When fired in a kiln, the glass particles bond
together forming a solid.
