Cold Characteristics
A deep royal blue color.
Working Notes
Color usually deepens on firing. Possible dark interface reaction with selenium and/or sulfur glasses (000137, 001122, 001125, 000124, 000125, 001137, 001437). Less viscous (softer) than most other glasses. Some gold-bearing striking glasses, like this one, should be fired with a 2 hour hold at 1225°F during the initial stages of the firing cycle. If fired without this hold, they may not strike at all, or they may strike but appear spotty and have a blue-brown cast, as opposed to the desired target color. This full-fuse schedule effectively strikes these glasses:
| Rate |

| * |
1225 |
2:00 |
| 600 |
1490 |
0:10 |
| 9999 |
900 |

* The initial rate of heat is not a critical factor in successfully striking gold-bearing glasses. Choose an initial rate of heat appropriate to the scale and design of the project that you are firing.
** Remainder of cycle depends on the thickness of the piece. Consult the Bullseye Annealing Chart. For color-sensitive projects, we recommend testing the cycle you plan to use by fusing a small sample of a similar setup in the same kiln as the project to best predict final color results.
Important Half Sheet Information:
*Half sheets require a minimum of 3 sheets (mixing of colors is allowed) to safely ship in a box.
*If you select 2 or less half sheets we can't ship your order.
*Shipping for half sheets is an estimate. You are responsible for the actual cost of shipping. *Half sheets are not eligible for our next day shipping guarantee.
