This colour matures to a pink upon firing. It is more of a purple pink compared to Petal Pink which maintains a brighter colour after firing.
This glass style requires a longer initial hold time during firing to reach the target colour - please see the working notes below.
Bullseye frit is made from crushed, screened and magnetically cleaned Bullseye Compatible sheet glass. Available in a huge variety of colours, frit gives the opportunity to add a unique element to your glass work. Frits are extremely versatile and can be used in kilnforming, including glass sketch and painting with light techniques, as well as in torch working and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.

Selenium, Sulphur
Cold characteristics:
Fine and Medium frits usually appear lighter than their fired colour, even when the glass is not a striker. Coarse frits less so. Please see the bottom half of the sheet glass image below for a better idea of the fired colour (bottom left for transparent colours).
Typically deepens in colouration on firing. Dark interface reaction possible with sulphur glasses (1137, 1437, 0137).

For projects that are especially colour-sensitive, we recommend fusing a small sample, with a similar setup in the same kiln, to best predict final colour results.
