Oceanside Almond Opalescent Stringers (style OGTS2107F) is System 96 tested-compatible 96 COE fusible stringers, thin threads of pale almond opal glass.
Appearance
Fine threads in a soft almond cream, an opalescent off-white with a faint warm tint. They are thin, rounded, and slightly glossy, reading as a solid pale color rather than see-through, and stay even across the bunch.
Working notes
As a pale opal, almond holds its soft color over both light and dark bases and stands out as a light line against stronger colors. Break the threads to length for scattered detail or use full lengths for flowing pale lines.
Reactions
This color is not on the System 96 reactive list, so it sits next to other colors without forming a reaction line. See the System 96 Reactive Color Chart for the colors that do react.
Using the stringers
Place them straight or curved for detail. On a full fuse they melt flush into the surface; on a tack fuse they keep a raised line.
Fusing and compatibility
Fuses cleanly with any 96 COE glass in the System 96 family. With glass from other makers, matching COE alone does not guarantee compatibility, so fire a test tile first.
