Torch: | Opacifies when used in the flame. Is whitest when used as a core bead. 0313 is more prone to reduction than other Bullseye styles.

Working Notes
This glass can be unstable when subjected to extended heatwork (pattern bars, pot melts, boiled effect, kilncasting, etc.). Firing above 1500°F (815°C) for more than 15 minutes or firing slowly between 1250°F (677°C) and 1500°F (815°C) may result in an unstable glass.
No colour shift upon firing. A dark interface reaction is possible with sulfur-bearing glasses (001137, 000137). Dense White Powder (000313-0008F) is recommended for surface use only. It may crackle when used between sheet glass layers.
