Working Notes
Torch: Gold Purple in rod form becomes lighter in colour once flameworked. When molten, this glass has a low viscosity and can be quite soft, which may result in a blurred edge where it meets other glasses.
Kiln: Not recommended for kiln forming.
Other
The name "Gold Purple" comes from the gold that is used as an ingredient in the manufacturing process.
