Product : Garnet Dark
Part# : NSF087-S4
Manufacturer : Northstar Glassworks
NS-87 Garnet Dark is the most saturated self striking Ruby Northstar currently offers. It is best suited for thin stringer, thin blown work, and lip wraps. The self-striking rubies are the next generation of colors offering the user cleaner, purer colors with less air and difficulty in working. When working NS-87 Garnet Dark, use a hot oxidizing flame. Once hot, NS-87 Garnet Dark will turn transparent, just as the standard Northstar rubies, but as it cools it turns a uniform ruby red. The strike is easily repeatable and the final color is not affected by kilning. Even after numerous reheats, no livering will occur. Note that the final shade of red is slightly darker than the initial color. Once heated and allowed to strike, the final color can be viewed. After prolonged use in sculptural and inside out applications NS-87 Garnet Dark can develop a deep brown hue. This can usually be reversed by heating the color until molten. These frits and powders have been formulated for use with Pyrex®, Duran®, Kimax®, Northstar® or any other glass with a similar coefficient of thermal expansion (33). Using frits and powders provide the hot glass artist with a means of adding color and/or texture to a piece quickly and easily.

This frit grain size is Small, approximately .024 inches or .6096 mm.

4 ounce jar.
