Item Name: Dichro Scrap by the Pound 33 COE SKU: DICHRO SCRAP Description: Dichro Scrap by the Pound 33 COE is a collection of leftover pieces and fragments of dichroic glass in 33 COE borosilicate. Dichroic glass is a specialty material with a thin metallic coating that creates color-shifting optical effects, appearing one color when light passes through it and a different color when light reflects off the surface. The scrap pieces are sorted by weight and sold by the pound, making them an economical way to experiment with dichroic effects without purchasing full sheets or rods. These fragments are ideal for fusing projects, small sculptural accents, jewelry components, and coldworking applications where you want the dramatic color-shifting properties of dichroic without needing large quantities. How it is used: For fusing applications, arrange the dichroic scrap pieces on a compatible 33 COE base glass or within a fused glass design, then fire in a kiln following a standard fusing schedule for borosilicate glass. The dichroic coating will create striking color shifts as light passes through and reflects off the finished piece. For lampworking, small dichroic fragments can be melted into soft glass beads or components, though compatibility testing is recommended since dichroic is borosilicate and soft glass has different expansion rates. For coldworking, grind, cut, or polish the scrap pieces as desired, then incorporate them into jewelry, mosaics, or other assembled glass art.
