Details

NS054 Star White is a creamy fully opaque white. It is an indispensable color in the palette for all applications. It is great for sculpture, stringers, blown work, and backings for all transparent colors. With several reformulations Star White has been turned into an easy color to work. It is atmospherically stable meaning it can be worked in any flame without the color being affected. To prevent any boiling issues, heat NS054 Star White slowly and gently. Once the color is glowing it can take a lot of heat. The trick is patience with a soft flame!

Dense and smooth, boils.

by -

One of the better American whites, smoother and denser than most, but it does boil quite easy.

The Best White Yet

by -

This is the best white I have found yet. It is smooth and as long as you are a little patient with it, you can get the stark white you are looking for with little to no boiling. I love it. Haven't encased with it yet, but it works well for outside application.

Great color but boils

by -

I have had little success with it ever not boiling on the surface as dots or stripes or while coating things. However if encased it's fine.

Magnificent finish

by

A great white.<br><br>easy to work and a magnificent finish.

Buttery milk

Add of the few whites that I’ve used this one works like butter it hardly boils and when it looks like it’s going to eat it put it towards the outskirts of the flame to reduce the boiling. Add of the few words that I’ve used this one works like butter it hardly boils and when it looks like it’s going to eat it put it towards the outskirts of the flame to reduce the boiling it works well with just about anything and when is encased in clear it looks amazing. I recommend using a high oxy flame but not too much oxygen to cause a hiss. Use in outskirts of the flame till it gets molten and most boiling is not a problem

A Must Have Color For Any Project!

by

North Star's "Star White" is indispensable for anyone, from Torch-Master to novice. I fit in the latter category, having started lampworking earlier this year. Anyone who helped guide me in this wonderful pursuit would tell me to be careful with any and all white boro rods, because they boil easily and are difficult to work with, but the same can't be said for North Star's "Star White". Out of all the different brands of white, i find this one is much less susceptible to boiling and thus profoundly easier to work!
<br>White is a pretty basic color compared to all of the other crazy cool colors that are out there, but it is quintessential nonetheless, and North Star's "Star White" is definitely the way to go!

Best white for the money

Good white

Very smooth white. Not to bad with boiling.

Best white out there

by

I love this white, it’s definitely my favorite white to work however if you aren’t careful it will boil easy. I recommend bring it up to temp in the kiln before using. Once its at melting temperature though it can handle a the heat as long as your are working about 6 inches away from the face of the torch. Just my opinion.

Go to white

Fantastic, easy to work white. Great for all applications. Warm slowly and avoid aggressive flame chemistry.

Great for every white application! Keep an eye out for boiling

Great White

by

lovin this white...has a slight opalescence while still remaining an opaque...very smooth!

Works Beautifully! Stays Saturated.

by

Honestly I’ve never worked with a better white, definitely one of the most saturated and easy to work with whites I’ve ever melted! Using this in tons of future projects.

Mix it first!

by

Slowly work heat into the rod and mix it up for best results. Definitely prone to boiling but can be dealt with fairly easy. Only white that’s better is parramore but hard to come by

best for stringers

by -

easy to work if using a very soft flame or as stringers

Best white

by

Star white is by far my favorite white. It works easy and works for almost any technique.

Really helps fume pop

by

I like this under fume before a darker layer. A little goes a long way.

One of the best whites you can find

by

Love the star white, I use this for making allot of my eyeball pendants and it’s perfect for the application. Takes some decent heat especially once worked a bit. Work in a cool flame till heated up nicely then giver pig
