Wissmach Crystal/ Deep Sky Blue (color code 96-22) is a Prisma blend in COE 96 kiln glass, pale sky blue and clear streaks in a 3mm sheet, tested for fusing compatibility. Wissmach's own name for the blend is Peacock Feather Tr/Crystal.
Appearance Soft vertical ribbons of pale aqua blue drift beside milky, near clear bands, with fine seeds and the occasional larger bubble caught in the glass. The whole sheet passes light easily, reading like thin morning haze over water. Prisma is Wissmach's blend of two or three colors in one sheet, and the first color in the official name is the more dominant, so the Peacock Feather blue leads here with the crystal weaving through it. The streaking is unique to each sheet, so no two are identical.
Striking Wissmach notes that its Opaque and Prisma colors may strike to a deeper or denser color after firing, so plan on the fired piece coming out a little richer than the sheet looks unfired. Fire a sample chip first if the exact shade matters to your design.
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 This blend is a copper bearing color on Wissmach's COE 96 chart. Fired in direct contact with a sulfur bearing color such as String of Pearls, Oyster Pearl, Gold Tone or Honey, it can form a darker reaction line where the two glasses touch. Test the pairing first, whether you want the line or want to avoid 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.
