Red Amber Tint Bullseye Billet 1857

A light orange sheet glass with amber tones.

Each Bullseye billet is approximately 127 x 254 x 19mm and weighs about 1.5kg. The three stacked billets in the picture demonstrate the increase in colour saturation with thickness. In kiln casting, the form and particle size of the glass selected can strongly influence the appearance of the finished piece. For maximum clarity, the rule of thumb is to use the largest and thickest forms of glass. Smaller glass particles increase obscurity due to air trapped between the pieces.

Cold characteristics:

Consistent colour.

Contains:

Sulphur/Selenium.

Copper, Lead, Silver.

See our Bullseye Reactive Potential charts for more information.

Working notes:

This colour was developed for billets, where increased thickness results in a red hue. Layer over pale opals for terracotta hues.

Please note the weights of the billets can vary quite a lot so we recommend that you over-compensate if you need a specific weight.

All our glass is COE90, Bullseye Glass compatible and suitable for applications such as glass fusing, glass casting and glass casting (unless otherwise stated in the description).
