The production of gold-bearing glass styles involves numerous variables, making each melt unique. We’ve observed that these styles can be particularly sensitive during firing. To ensure consistent color development, we’ve developed a “best to test” list. It highlights colors that may not fully develop in kilns that run hotter than average. Below are list of styles with which we recommend using a ‘gold hold’. Those with an asterisk (*) may require testing for best results.
