Bullseye Fuchsia Striker Transparent Double Rolled - 90 COE

Bullseye Fuchsia Striker Transparent Double Rolled - 90 COE

"Striker", August 11, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Absolutely beautiful deep, rich, shocking pink. Bullseye glass is traditionally NOT used for stained glass, and any glass listed as a striker only develops its full color in the kiln at the proper temperature.		 Cons
None, except that it is expensive!		 Other Thoughts
Cut your own strips to use instead of rods when making beads, and you'll save some money. Hot colors like this only need the core to be fuchsia, then cover with clear to dilute a bit. Not that expensive when done that way!
belmore comment on Fuseworks Q & A
August 5, 2012

@Lunasarthur You need to use a bubble squeeze in your program. This will usually allow the top glass to "outgas" before the two fuse together. Try going slowly through the temperatures from 1175 to 1250, maybe taking 45 minutes for small pieces.

This stuff is great!, January 25, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Easy to use, great coverage, needs to go on a bit thin (thickens up as it dries) and I don't bend nearly as many mandrels when taking off the bead.		 Cons
Wish it left less of a signature in the bead after cleaning.		 Other Thoughts
Fabulous! Best I have tried!

Glastar Makes Best Bits, October 10, 2011 5 stars
Pros
I have never had any problems with any size of these bits by Glastar. They last well over 50x when used properly under water. Start the drill at a 45 degree angle, then straighten up. Let the weight of the drill do the pressing, go fast on the speed, but slow on the penetration. Change your water often!		 Cons
 Other Thoughts
I trust this brand more than any I have ever used.

Love them!, August 5, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Thought they were rather expensive at first, but they are really well made and super easy. Heat your glass, quench in cold water, smash a bit, and then stack your sifters - smallest on the bottom and graduate to the largest on top. Shake your frit down in size, and it's done!		 Cons
The whole process is a bit time consuming, but it does save you money in the long run.		 Other Thoughts
No waste of your glass. Only sifters I've seen that will give you real powder.

Beautiful color, February 26, 2011 5 stars
Pros
reactive...contains copper		 Cons
none		 Other Thoughts
use with ivory to produce a reaction with the nile green. rich marbling effects are easy and do not require a reducing atmosphere. can be used with oxy/propane and a hot head/map gas.

Fusible Black Opal Bullseye, September 30, 2010 4 stars
Pros
Great depth of color, many styles to choose from with a black base. Fuses and refuses again and again, holds up with no devit. But, keep it clean!		 Cons
ALL Bullseye is hard to cut! You have to hold your cutter perfectly perpendicular to the glass, make a good, clean score, and run the break from both ends.
