Oceanside Dark Blue Opalescent Stringers (style OGTS2306F) is System 96 tested-compatible 96 COE fusible stringers, thin threads of solid opaque dark blue glass.
Appearance
A strong cobalt tone that reads opaque. Each thin strand is a solid, dense blue with a glossy surface, even along its length.
Working notes
As an opal these give solid, bold lines that hold their color over any base. They stand up as raised lines in a tack fuse and settle flush in a full fuse.
Reactions
This is a copper-bearing color, rated high on the System 96 reactive scale. Fused against a sulfur-bearing glass it can develop a reaction line or a shift in color where the two meet, an effect fusers use on purpose for shading and depth. Next to non-reactive colors it stays true. See the System 96 Reactive Color Chart for the colors it reacts with.
Using the stringers
Stringers are thin threads for adding fine lines, outlines, and linework. Place them on the surface for crisp detail, or bend and shape them into curves.
Fusing and compatibility
Tested compatible with other System 96 glass, so it fuses cleanly with any 96 COE product in the System 96 family. With glass from other makers, matching COE alone does not guarantee compatibility, so fire a small test tile first.
