Wissmach Dusk Blue (color code 96-120) is COE 96 kiln glass, a strong royal blue opaque in a 3mm sheet, tested for fusing compatibility.
Appearance A saturated, even royal blue with just a hint of lighter cloudiness drifting near one edge of the sheet. As an opaque it blocks light and holds its full strength over any background, which makes it a reliable anchor color for skies, water and bold graphic work.
Striking Wissmach notes that its Opaque and Prisma colors may strike to a deeper or denser color after firing, so expect this blue to come out of the kiln a little richer than the unfired sheet. Fire a sample chip if the exact depth matters.
Working notes Wissmach’s recommended full fuse schedule for a 6mm project made from two 3mm layers: heat at 300 degrees F per hour to 1225 F and hold 30 minutes, then 600 per hour to 1460 F with a 10 minute hold, cool as fast as the kiln allows to 960 F and hold 1 hour, then 100 per hour down to 700 F. These numbers come from Wissmach’s current published firing guidance. They are guidelines, not guarantees. Kilns differ, so fire a small test piece first.
Reactions Dusk Blue is a copper bearing color on Wissmach's COE 96 chart. In direct contact with sulfur bearing colors such as String of Pearls, Oyster Pearl, Honey or Yellow, it can form a darker line where the two glasses touch. Test the pairing first, whether you are chasing the line or avoiding it.
Format and sizes Sold as a 3mm sheet in 8" x 10.5", 10.5" x 16" and 16" x 21" sizes. Choose your size from the options on this page.
Fusing and compatibility Tested compatible with other Wissmach COE 96 kiln glass. With glass from other makers, a matching COE number alone does not guarantee compatibility, so fire a test tile before committing a project.
