Working Notes

Torch: Dense White Opalescent opacifies when used in the flame. Is whitest when used as a core bead. Dense White Opalescent is more prone to reduction than other Bullseye styles. Keep it white by working with it in a slightly oxidizing atmosphere. Sometimes small bubbles are evident while the glass is molten, but these typically are not visible in the cold rod or the finished work.

Kiln: Not recommended for kilnforming.

Rods are pulled from re-melted Bullseye Compatible sheet glass. Rod is sold in lengths of approximately 18in. (450 mm) and 4-6mm in diameter. Bullseye rods are graded either as F (recommended for both kilnwork and torchwork) or T (recommended for torchwork only).
