Bullseye Glass Rod: Opaque White Opal 0013

Glass Rod - Opaque White Opal.  

One of a large variety of Bullseye Opal whites, Opaque White fires a pure colour and is the brightest shade.

Rods can be used in torchworking and kilnforming (although this particular style is not recommended for 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.  

Cold characteristics:

Opaque white.

Working notes: 

Torch: Remains opaque even in small amounts. To avoid reduction, work with 0013 in a neutral to oxidising flame atmosphere.

Kiln: Though officially 'T' Grade, this rod is now (since 2009) suitable for kilnforming, but can be prone to devitrification. Very viscous; will flow later and less than other glasses. Consider a design solution to avoid or remove potential devitrification: cap with clear or sandblast/remove devitrification through coldworking methods.
