Forms of Glass

Detailed Information
About 000216 Sheet Glass
Cold Characteristics
Very slight orange-peel mottling.
Working Notes
At full fuse, capped or uncapped, the mottling disappears and the color is consistent, even and pure. At slumping temperatures and low-tack fusing temperatures (1150-1325°F/621-718°C), gray clouding may occur, similar to Steel Blue Opalescent (000146), especially where contamination from oils and/or cleaner is left behind during the cleaning process. Solution: cap this color with clear or test for each specific application. The clouding can be erased from an uncapped piece by capping with clear glass and firing to a full fuse.

Cold Characteristics
Slightly translucent opalescent.
Working Notes
Torch: To avoid reduction, work in a neutral-to-oxidizing flame atmosphere. Can turn rust color in reduction.
Kiln: Working properties and kilnformed characteristics are consistent with sheet glass.
