Easily cut with knife or scissors and moistened with water, this durable, flexible alumina sheet adds new creativity to hot glass work. Luminar Moldable Sheets are a high alumina product composed of high purity alumina reinforced with high-alumina ceramic fibers made up in thin sheet forms. It has excellent strength and can be fired repeatedly to 1800°F with no shrinkage. It is completely safe to handle and use. It contains no asbestos or hazardous materials. Luminar Moldable Sheets are supplied in dry form. It can be used directly in flat form as shelves or supports for fusing, or can be molded by quickly wetting with water, shaping to any desired form and re-drying. Joints can be made by pressing the two wet surfaces together; greater thicknesses can be made by laminating two or more sheets together; the moist surface can be indented or carved with a tool to create patterns and textures. Usage of the finished dried piece can be immediate as this alumina product requires no pre-firing. A small amount of organic present will cause some smoke on initial heat-up.
