Item Name:
Roman Numeral 2 Image
SKU:
S393
Description:
The Roman Numeral 2 Image is a pre-cut dichroic glass square featuring the numeral two with a reflective dichroic coating. Dichroic glass is created through a specialized vacuum deposition process that applies multiple layers of metallic oxides to the glass surface, creating a color-shifting effect that changes appearance depending on the angle of light and viewing perspective. The dichroic coating is permanently bonded to the glass base, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to fading.
How It Is Used:
- Warm the image gradually and evenly to prevent thermal shock to the glass.
- Apply the image directly to a lampworked bead or pendant by tack fusing it onto a clear or compatible base glass.
- In fusing applications, layer the image with other glass sheets and fire in a kiln to create finished jewelry pieces.
- Cap the dichroic image with clear glass to protect the coating and add visual depth to your finished work.
- Anneal the finished piece on an appropriate schedule based on the base glass composition to ensure structural integrity.
