Roman Numeral 6 Image

Description:
The Roman Numeral 6 Image is a pre-cut dichroic square image featuring a Roman numeral six design for fusing and flameworking applications. It is constructed from a base glass square with a dichroic coating bonded to the surface, giving it a high-contrast reflective finish and a color-shifting effect under different angles and lighting. In lampworking, this style of image is used when you want a crisp, repeatable graphic element that stays consistent from piece to piece, making it ideal for production runs and matched sets. It is commonly used as a focal accent in pendants, cabochons, and small sculptural insets, and it can be capped under clear to add depth and protect the surface.
How it is used:
- Warm the image gradually and evenly to reduce the risk of thermal shock.
- Tack the image onto a compatible clear base and heat until it seats smoothly.
- For lampworking, apply as a surface accent and cap with clear to protect the coating and create depth.
- For kiln work, layer with compatible glass and fire to the fuse level that matches your intended finish.
- Anneal with an appropriate schedule for the base glass to prevent stress.
