SKU:
PXIE DST CARBON BLAK
Description:
Pixie Dust Carbon Black is a fine pigment powder formulated to create deep, dramatic black accents on glass artwork. This specialty powder is composed of carbon black pigments that adhere to hot glass surfaces, producing rich, dark highlights and shadows when applied correctly. Pixie Dust pigments are designed to accentuate and highlight focal points of your glass pieces, adding dimensional depth and visual contrast. The powder is particularly useful for creating definition, outlining details, and adding visual weight to specific areas of your work. When applied to red-hot glass and briefly annealed, the pigment fuses to the surface, creating a permanent decorative effect that can be further protected with a transparent coating. Available in 28 gram increments.
How it is used:
- Heat your glass piece to a red-hot state in the flame
- Lightly immerse or coat the hot glass surface in the Pixie Dust powder
- Work quickly to ensure even coverage before the glass cools
- Briefly anneal the piece to fuse the pigment to the glass surface, being careful not to burn off the powder
- Allow the piece to cool slightly, then apply a transparent protective coating to seal and preserve the dark finish
- Complete the annealing cycle to set the final decoration
