Fusible Glass Sheet

Manufactured for kiln-forming. Also suitable for stained glass, mosaic, and cold-working.

Bullseye Striking Glass

This is a Bullseye Color that Strikes. Bullseye produces some glasses that appear pale or even colorless in their cold form but “strike” or mature to a target color when fired to the right temperature. Stained glass and mosaic makers should beware of striking glasses. The unfired sheet colors for strikers vary widely and may not be suitable.

For Kilnformers/glass fusers some glasses appear pale or colorless and “strike” (i.e. change) to the target color only after reheating. Keep in mind that the resulting color may vary depending on variations in the temperature, atmosphere or amount of heatwork. For example, rapidly heating Ruby Red Tint Striker (BE 1824 30F) during the initial stages of a firing cycle can prevent the glass from correctly striking and give it a blue-brown cast (the sapphirine effect) as opposed to the Ruby Red color that develops with more conservative initial rates of heat.

For projects that are especially color-sensitive, we recommend fusing or torchworking a small sample of your glass before use, to best understand the final color result.

Bullseye Reactive Glass

Bullseye Reactive Glass colors will combine with (at least some) copper-bearing glasses to create previously unattained results. The glass also reacts with silver and gold leaf. Interface reactions may develop, ranging from subtle to dramatic, generally in an earthy, rustic color palette. Bullseye Glass encourages experimentation and exploration.

Bullseye Glass Company

Bullseye Glass Company is a manufacturer of colored glass for art and architecture with worldwide distribution and a strong commitment to research, education, and promoting glass art. Bullseye Glass was started in 1974 and is based in Portland, Oregon.

Fusible glasses manufactured by Bullseye are factory-tested for compatibility with each other and are labeled Bullseye Compatible. 

We stock Bullseye’s Double Rolled (30) sheets which have a flatter surface than single-rolled sheets and are ideal for fusing. Thin Rolled (50) are half the thickness of standard glass (1.6 mm) and exceptionally easy to cut.

Ordering Information:
Bullseye Glass is priced by the pound. Average weight of a double rolled (3 mm) sheet is 8 pounds (3.7kg) per sheet. Thick-rolled (6 mm or 1/4") is 16 pounds (7kg) per sheet. Thin Rolled are half the thickness and average weight is 2.5 pounds (1 KG) per sheet. Tekta is sold by the square foot.

Bullseye glass bears a 4-digit base code and a 2-digit suffix. In addition, some include a final letter code. The first four digits indicate the base glass; the second two digits indicate surface treatment, profile or thickness.

Experimental Bullseye sheets are not run on a standard schedule from the manufacturer and therefore have a limited availability. 

Bullseye also manufactures frit, powder, confetti, billets, rods, stix and stringer in three thicknesses - 1mm, 2mm and 0.5mm.
