This is a rich colour which fires particularly pink, however if you want a more subtle tone use Light Plum, a dusty shade of violet, to calm the colour.
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.

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.
