Product that allows glass to move freely

Unique glass colors sell a product called "FREE".

Their website states : "FREE is used to allow the glass to move "freely" on the surface as it expands and contracts while being fired. The best way we have found to apply FREE is to place it in an old cotton athletic sock and use that to dust the surface before placing glass on the surface. Especially helpful when slumping or draping glass over forms. "

Has anybody used this and does it work as stated?

Yeah, I've used it. It's like kiln wash powder. Don't know if the ingredients are any different than that, but it basically does the same thing as if you dusted the kiln shelf or mold with dry kiln wash powder.
