Oceanside Pale Amber Transparent Stringers (style OGTS1102F) is System 96 tested-compatible 96 COE fusible stringers, thin threads of soft transparent amber glass.
Appearance
These are thin glass threads in a light, transparent amber. Light passes cleanly through each strand, giving a soft honey tone that reads a little deeper where the threads gather or cross.
Working notes
Pale amber stringers give warm, delicate lines that glow softly with light behind them. They hold as raised lines in a tack fuse and melt flush in a full fuse. Being sulfur-bearing and rated low on the reactive scale, amber can shift slightly against copper-bearing glass.
Reactions
This is a sulfur-bearing color, rated low on the System 96 reactive scale. Fused against a copper-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 of glass for adding fine lines, outlines, and linework to a fused piece. Place them on the surface for crisp detail, or bend and shape them into curves. They are System 96 96 COE and fuse with the rest of the family.
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.
