Bullseye Glass Frit: Burnt Orange Opal Powder 0329.08

Bullseye Brown Opalescent Powder Frit.  

A rich brown, slightly darker than Butterscotch and lighter than Umber, which will compliment Reds, such as Deep Red or Tomato Red. This opal maintains its striking colour after full firing.

Bullseye Frit is made from crushed, screened and magnetically cleaned Bullseye Compatible sheet glass. Frits are extremely versatile and can be used in kilnforming, including glass sketch and painting with light techniques, as well as in torchworking and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.

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: 

At full fuse and capped with clear glass, the mottling may remain but become faint in transmitted light. Lighter wisps may appear in reflected light. When uncapped, the mottling tends to even out and the colour becomes more consistent and even.

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