617028 Blue Exotic Frit 4oz Northstar Glass COE 33 Borosilicate

Northstar Blue Exotic: The Exotic family contains the most saturated striking colors in the Northstar family. Northstar Blue Exotic can yield a mirror like blue metallic finish and if over-reduced a very organic earthy tone as well. To keep the Exotics most vibrant, work in a super oxidizing environment until you are finished with the piece. Then, turn the flame down and bathe the piece in a super reducing flame for several seconds to produce the mirror like sheen. Another great effect that is possible with the Exotics is encasement with clear. This group of colors can be stretched out and is great for blown work. If heavily encased, be sure to anneal thoroughly. Exotics are also enhanced by backing with Northstar Star White.

CAUTION: AVOID EXPOSURE TO GLASS DUST. ALWAYS USE A DUST MASK AND EXHAUST HOOD WHEN HANDLING FRIT AND POWDERS.
