How do I use Fusing Farm SS Primer as a cold treatment mold primer?
1) Clean the stainless steel. I would suggest using a turpenoid, or paint cleaner to remove any coating that came on the stainless steel from the factory. Barring that, you can use a mixture of soap and water, with borax (as a grit) to clean the surface of the mold. 2) Once clean and dry, you can begin applying the SS Primer to the surface of the mold with a brush. I use a sponge brush in order to get a nice smooth surface with minimal texture. 3) Let air dry. A single coat should be sufficient to release glass. Second coat not necessary, but use your own judgment based on experimentation. 4) If there is too much texture, use an old nylon, or old used up fine grit sand paper, to remove any rough surface texture or brush marks. 5) You can now use the mold to slump in. If you are going to full fuse temperatures (1400°F+), I would suggest firing the mold in the kiln to 900°F to make sure the SS Primer is dry and to burn out some of the binding agents (NOTE: this will make the primer somew
