This is a strong colour, complimented by either similar tones for an eye-catching design or softer colours to calm the piece.
Bullseye compatible glass stringers - 1mm diameter.
Economy Pack : Contains a minimum of 123 stringers

Approximately 44cm long.
This colour is a striker - please see the sheet glass image below for an idea of the fired colour.
Contains:
Selenium, Sulphur
May react with:
Copper, Lead, Silver
Cold characteristics:
Powder frits usually appear much lighter than their fired colour, even when the glass is not a striker. Please see the bottom half of the sheet glass image below for a better idea of the fired colour.
Working notes:
A cadmium/selenium glass. Can react with lead-bearing glasses or overglazes. Possible reactions with 1311, 1215. Much colour variation typical upon firing. If specific colour is important, always test before beginning project. Use glasses
from same dates. Do not assume that stringers of the same colour when cold will fire identically.
This style is not suitable for kilncasting because it can opalise and/or become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period.
