Cold Characteristics:

This style may not reveal (or strike to) its target colour until fired. Colour range from paler to deep shades. Some variations from pink to brown tones. Slight mottling on back of sheet.

Working Notes:

Generally, deepens in hue on firing.
Dark interface reaction possible with sulphur glasses (001137, 001437, 000137).
Mottling disappears on firing.

Some striking glasses like this one need to be fired slowly during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired too fast they may not strike at all or they may strike, but appear spotty and have a blue-brown cast as opposed to the desired target colour.  A standard full-fuse schedule should work to strike these glasses:

Segment 1:

Rate (°C/hr) – 222

Temp (°C) – 677

Hold – 0:30

Segment 2:

Rate (°C/hr) – 333

Temp (°C) – 804

Hold – 0:10

Segment 3:

 Rate (°C/hr) – 999

Temp (°C) – 482

Hold – 0:60

Segment 4:

Rate (°C/hr) – 83

Temp (°C) – 371

Hold – end

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.
