ZYP BORON NITRIDE SPRAY MOLD RELEASE
is the warm glass "go to" spray mold
release.
Click on the YouTube logo below to see a
short video by the Colour de Verre people showing how easy it is to
use.
Quick instructions:
- Shake can well - at least a minute
after the can starts to rattle
- Keeping the can and mold vertical,
coat the mold evenly. A light coat works best, just 3-5 seconds
are needed!
- If this is the first time coating
the mold, wait five minutes and repeat. Then allow 15 minutes to
dry before filling
- Fill your mold with frit and fire
- After firing and removing your
work, brush any powdery residue from the mold.
- For subsequent firings, apply a
light coat (3-5 seconds). Mold should have a matte finish. Touch
up any shiny spots.
- Allow to dry 15 minutes and you're
ready to go again.
- For stainless steel molds, apply a
light coat, wait 15 minutes and apply a second coat. Allow to dry
for 15 minutes and you're ready to go. No need to preheat the
mold.
As with all Boron Nitride products, once
you start using Boron on a mold, you cannot go back to using kiln
wash.

BORON NITRIDE SPRAY MOLD
RELEASE |
13 oz can of Boron Nitride Spray |
BORON NITRIDE SPRAY MOLD RELEASE FOR
GLASS CASTING AND SLUMPING
is a hexagonal form of Boron Nitride in
a special aerosol formulation for stainless steel and ceramic
molds. Hexagonal Boron Nitride has been used in heavy industry for
decades to provide a slippery surface for molds for glass and molten
metals. This form of Boron Nitride works at temperatures up to 1800°F.
Shake can well and on stainless steel
molds, apply a light coat, wait 15 minutes and apply a second coat.
Allow to dry for 15 minutes and you're ready to go. No need to
preheat the mold.
On new ceramic molds, apply 2-4 light coats
about 5 to 10 minutes apart. Allow to dry 15 minutes and you're
ready to go. On molds previously treated with kiln wash, remove as
much kiln wash as possible before spraying.
If firing to 1350°F, you should be able
to get a couple of firings before a light recoat is needed. If
firing higher, it is best to give a quick spray before the next run.
As with all Boron Nitride products, once
you start using Boron on a mold, you cannot go back to using kiln
wash.
