Bullseye Stringers: 2mm Pink Opal 0301

SKU: M171

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.

Standard Pack : Contains a minimum of 9 stringers

Economy Pack : Contains a minimum of 33 stringers

(n.b. this glass is made using gold, and therefore the tubes contain fewer stringers than other colours, to keep the unit price in line with the rest of the range). 

Stringers, threads of glass pulled from remelted Bullseye compatible sheet, can be used for lines or patterns in 2 or 3 dimensional kilnformed or torchworked projects. Bend with a candle or use straight from the tube.

Approximately 44cm long.

Working Notes

Contains:

Lead

May react with:

Selenium, Sulphur

Cold Characteristics: 

Surface colour variations common; some light dappling. Colour range from light pink to deeper shades of lavender pink. Slight mottling on back of sheet.

Working notes: 

Typically deepens in coloration on firing. Dark interface reaction possible with sulphur glasses (1137, 1437, 0137). 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) – 667

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

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.

Like our sheet glass, stringers are made by hand. There may be slight variation in colour, thickness, length, etc.

All our glass is COE90, Bullseye Glass compatible and suitable for applications such as glass fusing, glass casting and glass slumping (unless otherwise stated in the description).
