slumping molds-any experience with custom?

Lynn, what do you think about inlands Twin Spin grinder. Looks handy for some things. I'm a believer in simplicity so the studio grinder by glastar is also very intriging. Plus I've used it before in a friends studio.

Will devit sprays or borax help the piece if tin side is up?
