The Transparent Bullseye Handy Sheet is 3mm thick and is approximately 280 x 250 x 3mm (the dimensions may vary slightly depending on the sheet)
Compatible with COE090.
Colours That Strike
Many glasses that Bullseye produces appear pale or even colourless in their cold form but “strike” or mature to a target colour when fired to the right temperature. These styles are marked with the symbol above.
Not recommended for Stain Glass or Mosaics as Kiln required to achieve colour shown
-
Striker
This style may not reveal (strike to) its target colour until fired.
Cold Characteristics
Varies slightly from lighter to darker shade; sometimes with lighter dappling in single-rolled sheets.
Working Notes
Colour usually deepens on firing. Possible dark interface reaction with selenium and/or sulphur glasses (000137, 001122, 001125, 000124, 000125, 001137, 001437). Less viscous (softer) than most other glasses. Some gold-bearing striking glasses, like this one, should be fired with a 2-hour hold at 1225°F during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired without this hold, they may not strike at all, or they may strike but appear spotty and have a blue-brown cast, as opposed to the desired target colour.

This full-fuse schedule effectively strikes these glasses:
* The initial rate of heat is not a critical factor in successfully striking gold-bearing glasses. Choose an initial rate of heat appropriate to the scale and design of the project that you are firing.
** The remainder of the cycle depends on the thickness of the piece.
