Dimension Information:
The finished product dimensions are measured from the ceramic bisque piece.
Final product dimensions may vary depending on the shrinkage rate of the clay
and the firing temperature.
Compatible Clays
The mold can be used with earthenware, ceramic, stoneware, and porcelain casting slips.
The wall thickness and casting time may vary depending on the characteristics
of the clay body used.
A fuller wall thickness is generally preferred with ceramic and earthenware casting slips.
Stoneware and porcelain casting slips, when used with suitable formulations
and casting conditions, are suitable for producing thinner forms.
With appropriate porcelain bodies in particular, very thin castings
with light-transmitting translucency can be achieved.
Warning:
Not suitable for stone powder, plaster, concrete, resin, or similar
non-ceramic casting materials.
Usage and Drying
- The casting slip should be thoroughly mixed until homogeneous before use.
- It is recommended to allow the prepared slip to rest before casting whenever possible.
- The casting slip should be poured into the mold slowly and in a controlled manner.
- Depending on ventilation and drying conditions, an average of 2–4 castings can be made per day.
- The mold should be allowed to dry sufficiently between castings.
Wet Mold Warning:
Depending on production intensity, the mold may occasionally be shipped
while still damp or wet. In this case, it should be left to
air-dry naturally for 1–2 days in a well-ventilated area
before use.
Minor deformation may occur on the outer surface, edges, or corners
of the mold during transportation. The mold can still be used as long as
there is no damage to the internal casting surface that would affect
the finished product or interfere with the casting process.
Mold Lifespan:
Approximately 100 castings on average. This may vary depending on the clay used,
casting frequency, drying conditions, and method of use.
