Not as easy as I expected
Doesn't make as much of a slanted edge up the side of the bottle as I was hoping for. The firing schedule that was included did not work for me at all. I need to being it up to a higher temp so the bottle closes completely otherwise I would think water would get inside when cleaning it.UPDATE: I have been having issues with this mold. The bottles tend to roll in the mold and only curve up on one side. I did contact the seller and he gave me some hints and tips. I am including that in this review for others to read.."Hello, There are a couple things you can do to prevent the bottle from rolling around in the mold. First I cork and float my clean empty bottles in water. I mark the side of the bottle that rolls to the top with a Sharpie marker. When I load the bottle in the mold I make sure the side I marked is on top. Those steps will prevent the bottle from rolling due to irregularity in the bottle. Another source of the bottle rolling is uneven heat. If one side of the bottle is very close to a heating element, that side will melt first resulting in an uneven melted bottle. Also having a level kiln shelf is critical.You can expect to almost completely collapse the neck of burgundy shaped bottles fired in the Burgundy mold around 1450F. However the Bordeaux shaped bottles usually have to be fired to a lower temperature to achieve the best shape. My Bordeaux shaped bottles always have the neck still open. It may be possible to have a closed neck Bordeaux bottle if the bottle is flattened first before slumping in the mold. I usually prevent the Bordeaux bottle necks from closing at all so I can reinsert the cork. I use a three quarter inch long piece of 3/8" stainless steel pipe inserted in the neck to keep it open. Thank you."

I have been very disappointed with this product
I have been very disappointed with this product. I have used various molds, but none of the molds I have used have worn as easily as these molds. I always use a kiln wash and sometimes firing paper. Disappointed.

Awesome molds
Wonderful even slumping without any rough edges. I have been using other molds from a different company but was having trouble with uneven slumping and jagged edges. I have used these molds a few times and every bottle turned out perfectly. The shape of the molds leaves the bottles with a clean, crisp shape. The recommended firing schedule was very helpful. I was so impressed with these molds that I ordered additional molds. They are smaller than molds from other manufacturers and do not take up as much room in my kiln, allowing me to fire more bottles at a time. They are also not as tall as some other molds so I can stack more shelves in my kiln with each firing. After my initial investment, I think these molds will actually save me money in firing costs. Highly, highly recommend.
