Working Notes

Matures to a consistent ruby pink tint. Becomes more pink with excessive heatwork. Some striking glasses like this one need to be fired slowly during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired too fast 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 color. A standard full-fuse schedule should work to strike these glasses:

*Remainder of cycle depends on thickness of piece. Consult the Bullseye Annealing Chart. For projects that are especially color-sensitive, we recommend fusing a small sample, with a similar setup in the same kiln, to best predict final color results.
