Working Notes

Torch: Consistent color. Keep 001122-0576 transparent by using it in small amounts with minimal heatwork, or adding it towards the end of the time in the flame. We advise labeling all striking glasses.

Kiln: Working properties and kilnformed characteristics are consistent with sheet glass.

This style is not suitable for kilncasting because it can opalize and/or become incompatible when held at high temperatures for a extended periods. It may also opalize and/or become incompatible in instances where processes exceed the parameters of the test for compatibility. Testing recommended when heatwork exceeds these parameters.
