"Striking glasses" change dramatically to reach target colour during firing. Colours may vary, depending on firing schedule, rate, atmosphere, and heat work.
Contains: | Selenium Sulphur |
---|---|
May react with: | Copper Lead Silver |
Cold characteristics: | Light transparent amber. Striker. |
Torch: | Strikes to a red-orange in the flame. Keep transparent by using it in small amounts with minimal heat work, or adding it near the end of the time in the flame. Before it is put into an annealing kiln, check that the glass has truly struck; it should appear very dark, almost black. If it is still light in colour, gently cool and reheat the glass without bringing it to a molten state and watch for the glass to darken as it strikes. We advise labelling all striking glasses. |
Kiln: | Rod-only glass style. |
