A lovely strong pink which matures to its colour upon firing. Really nice for jewellery work.
Rods can be used in torchworking and kilnforming, and add an exciting difference to glass work! Drawn from compatible Bullseye glass, each rod is approximately 42cm long and 4-6mm in diameter.
This colour is a striker.
Contains:
Lead
May React With:
Selenium, Sulphur
Cold Characteristics:
Light blue-lavender. May have a hint of the struck colour. Slight variations in cold and flameworked colour from one production run to another.
Working Notes:
Torch: Work in a cooler, oxidising atmosphere. Once formed in the flame, if Light Fuchsia has not struck, cool the glass in the flame until it is stable and behaves more like a solid. Gently reheat then cool the mass while looking for its colour to deepen. Light Fuchsia strikes more reliably in larger applications, such as a core bead.
Kiln: Rod-only glass style. A linear, streaked design may develop upon firing and may be visible whether fired lengthwise, or on end.
