6-Hole Graphite Cabochon Mold

Item Name:

6-Hole Graphite Cabochon Mold

SKU:

850-537

Description:

This is a graphite cabochon mold with six machined cavities for forming smooth, rounded cabochon shapes. The cavities are cut directly into the graphite so the working surface is naturally nonstick against hot glass and helps pull heat from the surface as you shape. The six-hole layout lets you make repeatable cabochons in multiple sizes from one mold.

How it is used:

Use this mold in lampworking when you want consistent cabochons for jewelry components and other small formed elements. Bring a gather to a workable heat, then gently press or settle the glass into the chosen cavity to establish the domed face. Let the graphite firm the surface, then return to the flame to refine the edges, adjust thickness, and finish the back as needed for your setting or assembly.

Dimensions:

Cabochon sizes range from 3/8 in to 1 in
