Cold Characteristics
Uniform color.
Working Notes
A copper glass. May have dark color reaction at interface with cadmium/selenium or sulfur glasses including 000125, 000120, 000124, 001120, 001125, 001122, 001137, 001437, 000137.
During processes that require greater heatwork, such as pattern or flow bar techniques, Turquoise Blue Opalescent has the potential to deposit trace amounts of copper into the fired separator on the kilnshelf. These deposits may react with sulfur-bearing glasses like French Vanilla Opalescent (000137) and Spring Green Opalescent (000126) in subsequent firings. Such deposits may not be visible and can react if the shelf has not been properly scraped then primed or, alternatively, if new ThinFire has been applied over the contaminated primer. When the contaminated separator has been properly removed (scraping-primer, vacuuming-ThinFire) the shelf can be reprepared and used as normal. A shelf with contaminated fired separators can be fired with glasses—other than sulfur-bearing glasses—and no reaction will take place. In our studios, we’ve observed the greatest contamination in subsequent firings with sulfur-bearing French Vanilla Opalescent (000137) and Spring Green Opalescent (000126).
Bullseye Compatible.
Fusible / Bullseye-compatible. Matching COEs does not ensure compatibility between glasses from Bullseye and another manufacturer. All compatible Bullseye glasses are tested compatible with other Bullseye compatible glass.
Possible Applications:
