Product Description
The 2019 Pantone Color of the Year
Post-fire glass color is light coral, a lighter version of Sunset Coral. Glass may appear pale or colorless before heating, then strikes to the beautiful post-fire color. Specifically formulated and tested for compatibility, this glass withstands multiple firings for complex projects without devitrification. The flatter double-rolled surface minimizes bubble entrapment, so colors can be layered for custom hues. Standard thickness 3mm. 90 COE.
Note: Striker glass matures to the color shown upon firing. Colors may vary, depending on firing schedule, rate, atmosphere, and heat work. For color-sensitive projects, test before use.
Main image shows a sheet of the glass after firing in strong light. In the additional images you'll see a comparison swatch of the unfired glass color (top) and the glass after firing to a full fuse (bottom). Final image shows glass as it will arrive.
Gold-bearing pink, purple, and coral transparents typically require a 2-hour hold at 1200°F–1225°F to fully develop color. Because this change occurs during the first firing and can’t be corrected later, testing is recommended.
Due to the many variables in production, each melt is unique and can be especially sensitive during firing. To support consistent results, Bullseye developed a “Gold Hold” best-to-test list highlighting colors that may under-develop in hotter-than-average kilns. See PDF for details. Results may vary.
