COE90 Dichroic Noodles Stix Stringers

COE90 dichroic noodles, stix and firestrips are narrow accent pieces that fuse with Bullseye sheet, frit and stringer. This category gathers the long, thin dichroic forms from CBS Dichroic, Bullseye Glass, and PAG, layered on black or clear base glass, including several thin-glass options so you can drop concentrated color and pattern into fused jewelry, pattern bars and surface accents without cutting full dichroic sheet.

What's stocked at Art Glass Supplies

The CBS Dichroic side is built around Coated Wavy Firestrips in 3mm and 6mm widths, with pattern groupings including Rainbow 1, Rainbow 2, Patterns Galore, Taste of Texture and a mixed Assortment, available on black or clear base glass. CBS also brings Border Firestrips and Natural Wavy Firestrips, plus dichroic noodles on thin black or thin clear glass. From Bullseye Glass you'll find Sizzle Stix in 3mm and 6mm widths, offered in Mixed Colors, Mixed Pattern and Rainbow palettes on either black or clear bases. Everything in the section is part of the wider COE90 Dichroic Glass range.

Choosing width and base glass

Narrow 3mm strips read as crisp accent lines and slip neatly between cabochons or along a pendant edge. The 6mm widths give a bolder band of dichroic color and are easier to position as borders, mosaic-style inlays or stripes inside a pattern bar. Thin clear base glass lets the dichroic flash carry through transparent designs and shows whatever color sits behind the accent, while thin black base glass holds the dichroic color in sharp contrast and is the stronger pick when you want the accent to pop against a lighter background.

Firing and capping

Because these are COE90, they fuse with Bullseye sheet, frit and stringer on standard tack-fuse and full-fuse schedules. Many makers cap dichroic accents with clear COE90 to protect the coated face and deepen the color shift, but uncapped and coated-side-down approaches can also be useful depending on the project. Test first when the final look matters. Stix and firestrips can be cut to length with a scoring tool or mosaic nippers, and short pieces can be scattered like confetti before capping for controlled bursts of color.

Project uses

Sizzle stix and noodles are go-to inclusions for fused cabochons, drop-out pendants and small panel work. Wavy firestrips run as flowing borders on coasters, dishes and tiles, and the pattern-mix assortments let you build varied accents across a series without ordering a separate sheet for every color. Pair these strips with clear cap glass and Bullseye sheet from the rest of the COE90 Dichroic catalog to finish a project in one compatible system.
