The Rigidizer cures at 788°C for pot melts and vitrigraph moulds. It can even be used to solidify just the outer shell of the SilkeMat® mould to retain a soft, release-free interior for glass slumping. Properly prepared and fired, all SilkeMat® moulds are usually reusable.
When using the Rigidizer, you may skip the pre-fire instructions for the SilkeMat® Fibre Blanket.
