Bullseye Stringers: 2mm Sunset Coral Transparent 1305

2mm Bullseye Autumn Orange Transparent Stringers.  

Sunset Coral is an autumn colour, which matures to its target colour, a red orange, on firing. For a darker orange try Orange or Carnelian Transparent.

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

This colour is a striker - please see the sheet glass image below for an idea of the fired colour.

Bullseye compatible glass stringers - 2mm diameter.

Economy Pack : Conatins a minimum of 33 stringers

Stringers, threads of glass pulled from remelted Bullseye compatible sheet, can be used for lines or patterns in 2 or 3 dimensional kilnformed or torchworked projects. Bend with a candle or use straight from the tube.

Approximately 44cm long.

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:

* 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).
