Purple Urple - ODDS - Northstar

NS101 Purple Urple is a dark purple that looks like NS080 Hyacinth, but works differently in the flame. This opaque purple uses chrome based technology, but does not have cracking problems. It is great for blown work and thin stringer application. It is heat and flame sensitive, so it must be heated up slowly to prevent boiling. Once it glows red, NS101 Purple Urple will take heat well, because of its intensity it is sensitive to reduction. If the flame is not oxidizing enough, gray and brown streaks will develop on the surface of the glass. Try it with a layer of NS032 Violet for a deep purple effect.

Odd quality rods are visually inspected for forming issues in production. This glass may contain one or more of the followings attributes: off-round, taper, thin, thick, short, or bow.
