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.
Consider encasing with clear to protect the surface from developing the light brown colour in the hotter, neutral flame chemistry that you would use for most other styles. We advise labelling all striking glasses.
