Bullseye Glass Rod: Pumpkin Orange Opal 0321

Glass Rod - Pumpkin Orange Opal.  

Pumpkin Orange is a rich egg yolk colour, which could go nicely with Jade Green.

Rods can be used in torchworking and kilnforming, and add an exciting difference to glass work. Drawn from compatible Bullseye glass, each rod is approximately 42cm long and 4-6mm in diameter.

Contains:

Selenium, Sulphur

May react with:

Copper, Lead, Silver

Cold characteristics: 

In cold rod form, the colour of 0321 can vary even within the same production run.

Working notes: 

This style is not suitable for kilncasting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period.

Torch: This style may start off as light orange, consistently developing a bright, squashy colour upon use in the flame. Depending on the colour of the bead when it is put away, a range of colours may be achieved. If this glass is put into an annealing kiln with a red hue, then a true pumpkin orange colour will result in the finished piece. If it is very light orange as opposed to red and the desired result is a true pumpkin orange colour, gradually cool and reheat the glass without bringing it to a soft state, look for it to turn red and then put it into the annealing kiln.

Kiln: Lighter colour and greater opacity than in sheet glass form. Slight variation in colour with different production runs.
