Uniform color.

Working Notes

000421-0030, Fused Tile

No color shift.

May not be suitable for kilncasting when using a plaster/silica mold, or similar refractory, combined with high temperatures for an extended period. This combination may result in a glass object with a heavily devitrified and sometimes crazed surface. Testing recommended.

We have observed successful kilncastings with 000421 in open-faced, ceramic molds with separators ZYP/boron nitride or Bullseye Shelf Primer. We have also observed success using 000421 in processes where heatwork exceeds the test for compatibility without the use of a plaster/silica refractory mold. Testing recommended.

Bullseye Compatible.
