617094 Egyptian White Sand Frit 4oz Northstar Glass COE 33 Borosilicate

Northstar Egyptian White Sand is a rich opaque color reminiscent of elephant ivory or the bleached carved hieroglyphic tablets excavated from ancient Egypt. It is not sensitive to flame chemistry but must be worked in soft gentle heat to prevent surface scarring or boiling. Once worked, the color can be heated more rapidly and take a larger volume of heat. The key is working the color slowly until it is melted in smooth. It is a formulation based on Northstar Star White but on that offers even greater opacity and intensity. Northstar Egyptian White Sand's antiqued color and grainy texture is ideal for shading in sculptural applications such as murrini cane, while it's intensity allows for it's application in extremely thin blown work. It is also an ideal background color.

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