This decal sheet carries eighteen bull skull illustrations rendered in a detailed black-and-white etching style. The designs depict bovine skulls from multiple viewpoints: frontal views with wide-spreading horns, lateral profiles that reveal the characteristic elongated snout, and angled perspectives that convey bone structure and depth. Horn configurations vary across the sheet, from long sweeping longhorn curves to compact upward curls to the broad, low spread of water buffalo horns. Fine crosshatching and close line work give each skull a bold, graphic, hand-drawn quality. All designs are printed in black ink on a clear carrier with no metallic finish, distributed across the 5.25 by 4 inch sheet.
These are water-slide fusible glass decals. You soak a cut decal in clean water until the image slides freely from its paper backing, position it on the surface of clean, pre-fired glass, smooth out any trapped water or air bubbles, allow it to dry completely, and then fire the piece. Because the decal is applied to the glass surface rather than incorporated as a compatible glass layer, it works over any COE glass. The result is a crisp, finely detailed design fired directly onto the surface of your finished fused piece.

Specifications
SKU: 159270 Sheet size: 5.25 x 4 inches Decals per sheet: 18 Design: black-and-white etched bovine skulls, no metallic finish Firing range: 1240 to 1370 degrees Working Notes
Apply decals only to clean, pre-fired glass. Handle pieces by the edges to avoid leaving skin oils that can interfere with adhesion. Cut each decal close to its printed border before soaking to minimize excess film on the glass surface. The black-ink skull designs on this sheet carry no metallic content, so fire in the 1240 to 1370 degree range and keep toward the lower end to preserve density. If you combine them with decals that call for a higher peak, match the higher setting and run a test piece first. Decal firing should always be your final kiln step after all other fusing is complete.
Suggested Firing Schedule (the manufacturer's recommendation, a starting point only, not a guarantee): This single-color sheet fires to a peak of 1240 to 1370 degrees, held about 10 minutes and kept toward the lower end to preserve density. Ventilate the kiln well up to 1000 degrees and fire slowly below 500 degrees. 50 DPH to 185 degrees, HOLD/SOAK 20 min. 150 DPH to 300 degrees, HOLD/SOAK 15 min. 250 DPH to 500 degrees, HOLD/SOAK 15 min. 600 DPH to 1000 degrees, HOLD/SOAK 10 min. 1000 DPH to 1240 to 1370 degrees, HOLD/SOAK 10 min. Anneal for the thickness of the glass. Every kiln fires differently; treat this schedule as a starting point and test a small piece in your own kiln before firing a completed project.
