Using Mold Mix 6 with Leslie Rowe-Israelson

Luminar Mold Mix 6 is a refractory molding compound designed to allow replication of designs in glass. It is a paste, which is applied carefully to suitably prepared patterns and hardens upon drying. Properly prepared molds of Mold Mix 6 will resolve the finest details.
Mold Mix 6 is composed of high strength alumina fibers and alumina powders. I will walk you through how to achieve a beautiful mold with fine detail.

A HUGE thank you to Leslie Rowe-Israelson for working with us for so many years and putting this demonstration together. For more information about Leslie and her incredible glass art visit www.twinvision.fusedglassartis...

Thank you for running this process for us. There is very little stuff on the net working this material. Keep up the good work and looking forward to part 2. Hope zrci is compensating you for this work. 😉

Amazing. How many pieces can be made from each moldmix mold ?

[@joe123452]

Great tutorial, thanks! is there a Part2 posted somewhere?

[@BeEpicMotivation]

can you reuse the mold after it breaks and make a new one? Like mix the mold with water and reshape it?
how many boro glass firings do the molds last for?

What is the best kiln for a beginner that wants to glass casting and molding?

[@jetcarroll3828]

Is this available in Australia? Can I make a mould from clay, or bisque fired ceramic?? It looks great!

[@luminarglassproductszrci4802]

You can purchase our products on our website (www.luminarglass.com) , we do ship to Australia. At this time we do not have any local distributors in Australia or New Zealand. You can use on clay if you use a mold release like Smooth-On Mold Release

Why do both kiln wash and boron nitride? I though it was one or the other?

[@luminarglassproductszrci4802]

Hi Michelle, in Leslie's personal practice with MM6 she prefers to use both kiln wash and boron nitride. You can use just one separating agent but this is the method Leslie has found the most success with

[@brendareagan8866]

I missed the part somewhere why you added the yellow food colorant to the Mold mixture? Thanks

[@luminarglassproductszrci4802]

The food coloring helps you to see where you are painting on the layers so each layer is an even coat

What kind of wax should be used?

[@luminarglassproductszrci4802]

In this video micro-crystalline or sculptors wax is used as the positive for the mold.

Probably should consider protecting your feet too.
