BE 1022 Red Orange Transparent

Cold characteristics: Light Transparent Amber.

Torch: A stable pastel that is not prone to reduction in a neutral flame.Strikes to a red-orange in the flame. Keep 1022 transparent by using it in small amounts with minimal heatwork, or adding it near the end of the time in the flame. Before it is put into an annealing kiln, check that 1022 has truly struck; it should appear very dark, almost black. If it is still light in color, gently cool and reheat the glass without bringing it to a molten state and watch for the glass to darken as it strikes. We advise labeling all striking glasses.

Kiln: Rod-only glass style.
