Wissmach Pumpkin Orange Transparent (color code 96-18 LLL) is COE 96 kiln glass, a saturated red orange transparent in a 3mm sheet, tested for fusing compatibility.
Appearance A hot, saturated orange that leans red where the glass runs thicker toward the edges and glows brighter at the center as light passes through. A scattering of fine dark seeds is visible in the sheet, typical of handmade rolled glass. A single layer reads bright over white, and doubling the layers pushes it toward a deep red orange.
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 Pumpkin Orange is not flagged on Wissmach's COE 96 reactive chart. It sits next to any color in the line without forming a reaction line, so it drops into a layout without planning around chemistry.
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.
