COE90 Dichroic Noodles Stix Stringers

Dichroic noodles, stringers, and stix are linear pieces of glass that carry a color shifting dichroic coating, made for drawing lines of shimmer through fused glass work. This COE90 category collects the line-format dichroic from Coatings By Sandberg (CBS) and Bullseye Glass, all made on a compatible 90 COE base to fire with Bullseye glass. When you combine glass from different makers, test compatibility first.

What's in this category at AGS

CBS Dichroic Noodles are flat ribbon strips in assorted colors on thin black or thin clear glass, and CBS Dichroic Stringers deliver the same color shift in fine thread form. CBS Wavy Firestrips add movement with curved 3mm and 6mm wide strips in colorways such as Rainbow, Patterns Galore, and Taste of Texture, alongside Border and Natural Wavy Firestrips. From Bullseye, Dichroic Sizzle Stix come on black or clear glass in Rainbow, Mixed Colors, and Mixed Pattern assortments, in both 3mm and 6mm widths.

Choosing noodles, stringers, and stix

Black based pieces show the reflected color at full mirror-like saturation, while clear based pieces let light pass through for a more transparent two tone effect. Reach for stringers when you want the finest lines, noodles for wider flat ribbons of color, and 6mm firestrips or stix when a bolder stroke should read from across the room. Wavy shapes are a fast way to suggest water, grass, flames, or hair.

Firing and use notes

Everything here is COE90, so keep it with Bullseye and other COE90 compatible glass and never mix in COE96 components. Fired coated side up and uncapped, the dichroic surface keeps its metallic sparkle; capped under clear glass, the color shift reads deeper and glossier. Use these pieces for borders, rays, grids, and accent lines in jewelry, plates, and panels.
