Oceanside Violet Stringers (style OGTS5342F) is System 96 tested-compatible 96 COE fusible stringers, thin threads of transparent violet glass.
Appearance
A soft dusty purple with a slightly muted, mauve cast. The thin strands read as delicate violet lines and stay clear and glassy where light passes through.
Working notes
These thin round threads melt quickly into the surface they rest on. A full fuse softens them flat into the base; a tack fuse leaves them raised as fine violet lines. As a transparent, the violet reads best over a light 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 for outlines, lettering, stems, or any slim detail, and score them to length or curve them over heat.
Fusing and compatibility
Tested compatible with any other 96 COE glass in the System 96 family. With glass from other makers, matching COE alone does not guarantee compatibility, so fire a small test tile first.
