Working Notes
A cadmium/selenium glass. It can react with lead-bearing glasses or overglazes. Possible reactions with 001311, 001215. Much colour variation is typical upon firing. If a specific colour is important, always test it before beginning the project. Use glasses from the same dates. Do not assume that sheets of the same colour when cold will fire identically.
This style is unsuitable for kiln casting because it can become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period. It may also become incompatible in instances where processes exceed the parameters of the test for compatibility. Testing is recommended when heat work exceeds these parameters.
