Working Notes
This glass can be unstable when subjected to extended heatwork (pattern bars, pot melts, boiled effect, kilncasting, etc.). Firing above 1500°F (815°C) for more than 15 minutes or firing slowly between 1250°F (677°C) and 1500°F (815°C) may result in an unstable glass. More susceptible to contaminants that seed devitrification than other glasses in the Bullseye line. Cap with clear or plan to treat the surface (sandblast, coldwork, or apply clear powder and refire) after firing.
Frits are versatile and can be used in:
- Pate de verre and kilncasting
- Kilnforming, including glass sketching and painting with light techniques
- Torchworking and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.
