Overview
Striker
This style may not reveal (strike to) its target color until fired.
Reactive Potential
Contains: Sulfur (S) / Selenium (Se)
May React With: Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), and Silver (Ag)
Forms of Glass
Sheet Glass (-0030, -0050), Frit (-0001, -0002, -0003, -0008) and Rod (-0576)
Detailed Information
About 000227 Sheet Glass
Cold Characteristics
Browner than in the struck sheet, the color matures to golden green during the firing process.
Working Notes
May reveal subtle light/dark green wisps in a full-fuse firing. When uncapped, the mottling is less noticeable and the color more even. When capped with clear, the mottling is more noticeable.
This style is not suitable for kilncasting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period. It may also become incompatible in instances where processes exceed the parameters of the test for compatibility. Testing recommended when heatwork exceeds these parameters.

About 000227 Rod
Cold Characteristics
Opaque. Muted.
Working Notes
Flameworked color is a shade darker than the cold rod.

Torch: A range of color can be achieved by variations in heatwork within a single piece. Lighter golden color and greater opacity than in sheet glass form. Slight variation in color with different production runs.
Kiln: Lighter golden color and greater opacity than in sheet glass form. Slight variation in color with different production runs.
