This Colour de Verre mould measures approximately 12.7 cm x 20.32 cm x 3.17 cm, and makes six different leaves. 

There are three designs on the front of the mould and three on the back. The fill weights for the three designs on Side A (that is, the side with the “Ginkgo Leaves” text) are 9 grams each.  The fill weights for the designs on Side B (the side with the copyright text) are 15, 7, and 14 grams respectively - this is the amount of glass required to fill the moulds properly.

For best effect, Colour de Verre recommends the use of frit, at least 50% of which should be clear (otherwise the castings will be very dark).  To see our range of fine frits, click here.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT FOR BEST EFFECT, COLOUR DE VERRE SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDS THE USE  OF HOTLINE PRIMO PRIMER (OR MR-97, WHICH IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA). 

Give the mould 3-4 thin, even coats of Primo Primer kiln wash, using a soft artist's brush to apply the Primer (Colour de Verre recommends that you do NOT use a haik brush, as this will not pick up the necessary fine detail).  Use a hair dryer to completely dry each coat before applying the next.

Colour de Verre suggests a firing temperature of approximately 735ºC (1350ºF) for COE 96 and 750ºC (1375ºF) for COE 90.
