Re: Borax spray on plaster molds
I used to get much devitrification using R&R 101. Always on the top (air) side of the glass.
I then switched to a 1:1 plaster:silica with a scoop of R&R 910 thrown in as a reinforcement to prevent cracking and I've had neither cracks nor devit ever again.

Re: Pot Melting
Cynthia, what type of glass did you use? PeteMorganica wrote: I heated it up to 1525F on a slow casting schedule and let it drip into a similar plaster/silica cylinder.

Re: Advice on a generic recipe for mold mix, please
An alternative is to make the slump mold out of clay, and then fire the clay a little bit hotter than the temperature you will fire the glass.
You will need to use kiln wash.
