Standard Pack : Contains approximately 60 stringers

Economy Pack : Contains approximately 275 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.

Please note, these are extremely delicate so some stringers within the tube may be broken. Due to minute variations in thickness of the stringers and density of glass, the quantity in each pack can vary.

Working notes: 

A sulphur glass. May react with gold-bearing lead (1311, 1411, 0301, 0305) and copper (1116, 1408, 1417, 0144, 0145, 0146) glasses to create dark interface (lead sulphide, copper sulphide). Very viscous; will flow later and less than other glasses. Generally more sensitive to heat-history and more likely to show variation in colour after fusing than many opals. When fired on edge, a clear distinction between outside and interior surfaces is commonly seen (a variation used by designers). This glass may become increasingly white with repeated firings. Consider using glass from the same batch for a given project. 

Bullseye Opal Stringers are pre-struck and at target colour
form the manufacturing process, There may be slight
variation in colour.

Like our sheet glass, stringers are made by hand. There may be slight variation in colour, thickness, length, etc.

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).
