Oceanside Medium Blue Stringers (style OGTS2302F) is System 96 tested-compatible 96 COE fusible stringers, thin threads of opalescent medium blue glass.
Appearance
A bright true blue that reads solid and opaque rather than see-through. Gathered they make a vivid blue; singly they lay as clean blue lines.
Working notes
These thin round threads melt into the surface they rest on. A full fuse softens them flat; a tack fuse leaves them raised as fine blue lines. Being opalescent, the lines stay a solid blue over any background.
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
Lay them on a fused surface for outlines, lettering, stems, or slim details, and score them to length or curve them over heat.
Fusing and compatibility
It fuses 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.
