Bullseye Glass Frit: Tomato Red Opal Powder 0024.08

Bullseye Red Opalescent Powder Frit.  

This colour is one of the darker shades of red out of the opal colours.

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.

Contains:

Selenium, Sulphur

May react with:  

Copper, Lead, Silver

Cold characteristics: 

Powder frits usually appear much lighter than their fired colour, even when the glass is not a striker. Please see the bottom half of the sheet glass image below for a better idea of the fired colour.

Working notes: 

Colour opalises upon firing, becoming more consistent. Colour may dapple with excessive heatwork. This style is not suitable for kilncasting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period.
