Optic Molds

[AnnaSpanna]

I am looking to have a go with optic molds but am reticent to fork out £35 for one before I've had a go and see if its what I fancy.

Does anyone have mold that they would be willing to put put on loan to me for a few months? I will gladly papypal you the postage costs. I don't really mind what shape (but preferably the kind of "floral" one).

Thank you lovely FHers in advance

If you want to get value for money have you looked at the graphic moulds at Tuffnell's? They have 4 or 5 shapes in one.

I got the one with 5 in. Haven't tried it yet, though. What attracted me to that mould is that I don't have to work so big. The traditional moulds are massive, and you need a huge amount of glass. With my failure rate I'd prefer not to waste huge amount of glass and time, and still I can have some fun  Here's the link: http://www.tuffnellglass.com/contents/en-uk/d62.html
