getting a silky smooth surface. Also used for open face mold casting
as it allows even fine detail to show without letting the glass
stick to the mold. Goes on orange, fires to white.

this product is not nearly as likely to curl during firing, cause
hazing on the edges of your piece and won't leave a residue fused to
the bottom of your pieces.

this product with others on the market. If it is not sold as

tested "those other" papers and they do not hold up well
and often leave powdered residue fused into the bottom of your
work or leave an uneven surface. |
