Colours That Strike
Many glasses that Bullseye produces appear pale or even colourless in their cold form, but “strike” or mature to a target colour when fired to the right temperature. These styles are marked with the symbol above.
Not recommended for Stained Glass or Mosaics, as a Kiln is required to achieve the colour shown

Cold Characteristics
Browner than in the struck sheet, the colour matures to golden green during the firing process.
Working Notes
May reveal subtle light/dark green wisps in a full-fuse firing. When uncapped, the mottling is less noticeable and the colour is more even. When capped with a clear, the mottling is more noticeable.
This style is not suitable for kiln casting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period.
Frits are versatile and can be used in:
- Pate de verre and kilncasting
- Kilnforming, including glass sketching and painting with light techniques
- Torchworking and blowing, to create colours and patterns on surfaces.
