Oceanside Crystal (style OGTS209F) is System 96 tested-compatible 96 COE fusible stringers, thin white opalescent glass threads.
Appearance
The stringers are a milky crystal white, softly translucent rather than clear. Bundled in the tube they read as a bright cloudy white, and single threads show the same gentle opal glow.
Working notes
As thin glass, stringers fuse quickly, so watch them at the top of your schedule. The white line stays solid against darker glass and shows up well for outlines and detail. Tack fusing keeps the raised thread on the surface, while a full fuse sinks it flush with the base.
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
Stringers are thin glass threads for fine lines and linework. Lay them across a base for outlines, script, borders and grid patterns, then snap them to length by hand.
Fusing and compatibility
Tested compatible with other System 96 glass, so it fuses cleanly with any 96 COE product in the System 96 family. When you combine it with glass from other makers, matching COE alone does not guarantee compatibility, so fire a small test tile first.
