Working Notes
Torch: Work in a cooler, oxidizing atmosphere. May develop a light brown colour on the surface of the glass if worked in the presence of too much propane (or fuel).
Kiln: A linear, streaked design may develop upon firing and may be visible whether fired lengthwise or on end. Hue and saturation may also differ slightly when compared to sheet glass; a wider range is accepted due to changes that occur in the forming process.
Other
Consider encasing with clear to protect the surface from developing a light brown colour in the hotter, neutral flame chemistry that you would use for most other styles. We advise labelling all striking glasses.
