Bullseye Sheet Glass: 3mm Pink Opal Striker 0301.30

Contains:

Lead

May react with:

Selenium, Sulphur

Cold Characteristics: 

Surface colour variations common; some light dappling. Colour range from light pink to deeper shades of lavender pink. Slight mottling on back of sheet.

Working notes: 

Typically deepens in coloration on firing. Dark interface reaction possible with sulphur glasses (1137, 1437, 0137). Mottling disappears on firing.

Some striking glasses like this one need to be fired slowly during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired too fast 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.  A standard full-fuse schedule should work to strike these glasses:

 Segment 1:

 Segment 2:

For projects that are especially colour-sensitive, we recommend fusing a
small sample, with a similar setup in the same kiln, to best predict final
colour results.

All our glass is COE90, Bullseye Glass compatible and suitable for
applications such as glass fusing, glass casting and glass slumping (unless
otherwise stated in the description).
