3mm Bullseye Sheet Glass - Ruby Pink Tint (Striker).  

This glass matures to its target colour, a pinky purple, after full firing. It creates an eye-catching tint when used in a single sheet or multiple sheets to build the colour saturation. For a richer tint try Ruby Red Tint Striker, or if a softer pink is what you're looking for, Light Pink Striker Transparent.

This glass style requires a longer initial hold time during firing to reach the target colour - please see the working notes below. 

Cold characteristics:

Appears almost clear with blue/purple tint.

Contains:

Lead
 

May react with:

Selenium, Sulphur
 

Working notes:

Colour usually deepens on firing. Possible dark interface reaction with selenium and/or sulphur glasses (0137, 1122, 1125,0124, 0125, 1137, 1437). Less viscous (softer) than most other glasses. Some gold-bearing striking glasses, like this one, should be fired with a 2 hour hold at 663°C during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired without this hold, 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.  This full-fuse schedule should effectively strike these glasses:

Rate Temp (C) Hold
* 663 2:00
333 810 :10
999 482 **

* The initial rate of heat is not a critical factor in successfully striking gold-bearing glasses. Choose an initial rate of heat appropriate to the scale and design of the project that you are firing.

** Remainder of cycle depends on the thickness of the piece. Consult the Bullseye Annealing Chart. For colour-sensitive projects, we recommend testing the cycle you plan to use by fusing a small sample of a similar setup in the same kiln as the project 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).
