Bullseye Glass Frit: Dense White Opal Powder 0313.08

Powder Frit - Bullseye White Opalescent.  

More reactive than White Opal, we now stock this as a powder by popular demand.

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:

Lead

May React with:

Selenium and Sulphur

Working Notes:

This glass can be unstable when subjected to extended heatwork (pattern bars, pot melts, boiled effect, kilncasting, etc.). Firing above 1500°F (815°C) for more than 15 minutes or firing slowly between 1250°F (677°C) and 1500°F (815°C) may result in an unstable glass. More susceptible to contaminants that seed devitrification than other glasses in the Bullseye line. Use Super Spray, or plan to treat the surface (sandblast, coldwork, or apply clear powder and refire) after firing.

No colour shift upon firing. A dark interface reaction is possible with sulphur-bearing glasses (1137, 0137).

Dense White Powder is recommended for surface use only. It may crackle when used between sheet glass layers.
