Skylla is a silver striking and copper ruby glass based on the popular test batch TK-645 and a relative of Terranova 2.1. Skylla has several improvements over previous silver/copper striking colours. The colours are brighter, the reset is complete, the nucleation is heterogeneous and the copper ruby is redder.

Striking Sequence For Best Results

Skylla on the Surface:
- Reset (Heat the glass until translucent) this means soupy and cooking it a lot
- Cool for 30 seconds or longer so the colour starts to solidify (until the glow fades)
- Strike for 30-45 seconds by reheating at the tip of the flame. Repeat to see the colour shift from blues to purples
Encased Skylla:
- Encase then Reset (heat glass until translucent)
- Cool for 45 seconds
- Strike for 45-60 seconds by reheating at the tip of the flame
