Working Notes
Torch: Lighter colour and greater opacity than in sheet glass form. Keep it bright red by working with a neutral-to-oxidizing flame atmosphere.
Kiln: Lighter colour and greater opacity than in sheet glass form.
This style is not suitable for kiln casting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period. It may also become incompatible in instances where processes exceed the parameters of the test for compatibility. Testing is recommended when heat work exceeds these parameters.
