Wissmach Honey Transparent (color code 96-11) is COE 96 kiln glass, a pale warm honey gold in a 3mm sheet, tested for fusing compatibility.
Appearance A light golden amber with the warmth of clover honey held up to the sun, passing plenty of light and staying soft rather than brassy. Fine seeds are scattered evenly through the sheet, the usual signature of handmade rolled glass. A single layer fires pale and warm, and doubling it deepens the gold noticeably.
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 Honey is a sulfur bearing color on Wissmach's COE 96 chart. Fired in direct contact with a copper bearing color such as Reactive Blue, Deep Sky Blue, Turquoise Green or Sea Blue, it can form a darker copper sulfide line where the glasses meet. Results vary by batch and firing, so run a small test tile before committing the pairing to a project.
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.
