Bullseye Glass Frit: Blue Black Opal Powder 0102.08

Add this deep dark blue to your colour palette, perfect for midnight skies, detailing and much more. 

Bullseye frit is made from crushed, screened and magnetically cleaned Bullseye Compatible sheet glass. Available in a huge variety of colours, frit gives the opportunity to add a unique element to your glass work. Frits are extremely versatile and can be used in kilnforming, including glass sketch and painting with light techniques, as well as in torch working and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.

Cold Characteristics:

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:

Colour can shift slightly from blue to purple under different light.

Colour appears bluest in small amounts. As is true with many frits & powders, when firing Blue Black accessory glasses on sheet glass, the base colour can impact the overall colour. We’ve noticed that Blue Black is more likely to appear blue when fired on clear and white glasses as well as lighter cool colours. It is more likely to have a black hue when fired over warm colours, even in small amounts.

If you are after a more true black, try using 0100.08 Black Opal Powder
