Mini Double Splatter scatters small, doubled spots of coating across the surface like flicked paint, an irregular spray of little marks that cluster and break apart. On a black base the splatters stay bright and saturated, each speck set off by the dark glass so the random spray keeps its energy and the small marks read clearly.
The dichroic coating shifts color as light and angle change, the splattered marks running through their metallic range together as you tilt the piece. Black blocks light from passing through, so the spray reflects its color strongly and the scattered effect holds its punch across the shift.
Fire a small test piece first, since dichroic results vary with kiln and setup.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines and Helpful Tips
Dichroic results vary by kiln, firing schedule, base glass, capping, layering, and coating orientation. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Follow the glass and coating manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when the final look matters.
- Coating side orientation and clear capping can each change the final look, so test first when the result matters.
- Appearance may vary after firing, and the metallic color shift can read differently by viewing angle and lighting.
- Cut and handle the coated surface with care.
What is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass has ancient roots, including the Roman Lycurgus Cup. Today, dichroic glass uses thin metal oxide layers on the glass surface to create a metallic color that shifts with light and viewing angle. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.

Should I test before firing?

Can I cap dichroic glass with clear glass?
Many artists cap dichroic glass with clear, and capping can change the final look. Test first to confirm the result you want.
