Product Information

Choose Bullseye Glass billet for your project, an excellent choice for casters who are concerned about the safety issues in working with lead crystal.

In kiln casting, the form and particle size of the glass selected can strongly influence the appearance of the finished piece. For maximum clarity, the rule of thumb is to use the largest and thickest forms of glass. Smaller glass particles increase obscurity due to air trapped between the pieces.

Working Notes

Prone to devitrification if the surface is dirty when it's fired.

Cold characteristics: Consistent colour. Although termed an opal due to its almost total lack of light transmission, this is (in terms of its composition) actually a transparent glass.

Working notes: Low viscosity. Will flow sooner and more than other glasses. In very thin sections the colour may vary from reddish/grey to bluish/grey.

Dimensions

Each Bullseye billet is approximately 127 x 254 x 19mm and weighs about 1.5kg.

Please note the weights of the billets can vary quite a lot so we recommend that you over-compensate if you need a specific weight.
