Can I get suggestions on which kiln wash is the best to use on slumpning molds?
We are family business of Scientific and Industrial Glass Blowers looking to get into some fun stuff as a hobby.

We have purchased our first two slumping molds and would love everyones input..Do's and Don'ts,etc...
I will gladly return the favor by answering any questions I can on our line of work..

Look forward to chatting with you all..

Heather :D

as others said, Bullseye. after you apply it, it will last for a lot of slump firings. some people spray it on, and some people brush it on. the mix of 4 water to 1 kilnwash looks very watery, sort of like skim milk, and it's pinkish. dry thoroughly. make sure little vent holes in mold are not clogged with kilnwash. good luck, and welcome. kitty.
