Oval Glasslinks

This design is a set of two moulds (each measuring 6-5/8" x 3-5/8") .This way, with each firing you can make twelve Oval Glasslinks™ - that is, enough Glasslinks to complete a necklace.

Each one of the cavities holds 4 grams of either fine or powdered frit. Fire these cool to only about 1335-1350˚F (725-730ºC). Hold for 25 to 30 minutes and then anneal.

The completed links can be connected using metal links or classic jewellery techniques such as connecting the links including large, oval jump rings or jump rings paired with double-looped eye pins.

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.
