This colour is one of the darker shades of opal red.
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.
Contains:
Selenium, Sulphur
May react with:
Copper, Lead, Silver
Cold characteristics:
Slight variations in cold colour from one production run to another.
Working notes:
Torch: Lighter colour and greater opacity than in sheet glass form. Keep it bright red by working with a neutral-to-oxidizing flame atmosphere.
Kiln: Lighter colour and greater opacity than in sheet glass form. This style is not suitable for kilncasting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period.
