Working Notes

A cadmium/selenium glass. Generally fires deeper (more red) than cold sheet. “Catspaw” effect disappears on firing.

This style is not suitable for kiln casting because it can opalize and/or become incompatible when held at high temperatures for an extended period. It may also opalize and/or become incompatible in instances where processes exceed the parameters of the test for compatibility. Testing recommended when heat work exceeds these parameters.
