Description Working Notes Threads of glass pulled from re-melted Bullseye Compatible sheet. For use in kilnforming or torchworking. Stringers come in 1 or 2-mm thicknesses and are approximately 451 mm long. We have 1mm stringers available in a pack of 10 or a 1mm tube with approximately 85 pieces. The tubes are a clear plastic cylinder 457 mm long and 19 mm in diameter. We have a 2mm stringer available in a tube as it contains a little over 30 pieces. Bullseye is COE090 and isn't compatible with Effetre or Vetrofond Rods. Annealing Temperature range is 505- 520 Celsius Contains Lead May React With Selenium, Sulphur Cold Characteristics A deep royal blue colour Working Notes This style may not reveal (or strike to) its target colour until fired. Colour usually deepens on firing. Possible dark interface reaction with selenium and/or sulphur glasses (0137, 1122, 1125, 0124, 0125, 1137 and 1437) Less viscous (softer) than most other glasses. Some gold-bearing striking glasses, like this one, should be fired with a 2-hour hold at 1225°F during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired without this hold, 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. This full-fuse schedule effectively strikes these glasses: Rate Temp Hold * 1225 2:00 600 1490 :10 9999 900 ** * The initial rate of heat is not a critical factor in successfully striking gold-bearing glasses. Choose an initial rate of heat appropriate to the scale and design of the project that you are firing.
