Bullseye Stringer
Stringers are threads of glass pulled from re-melted Bullseye Compatible sheets for use in kilnforming or torchworking.
Stringers come in 1 mm (item codes ending in 07), 2 mm (item codes ending in 72) and extra slim 0.5 mm (item codes ending in 75) thicknesses. All Bullseye stringers are approximately 17.5" (445 mm) long. They are packaged in clear plastic tubes, which are 18" (457 mm) long and 0.75" (19 mm) in diameter. Tubes are packaged by volume.
A tube of 1 mm stringers weighs 6.5 oz., and contains approximately 123 pieces. A tube of 2 mm stringers weighs 6.5 oz., and contains approximately 50 pieces. A tube of .05 mm stringers weighs 5 oz. To equalize pricing, tubes of colors made with gold contain fewer stringers than tubes of other styles. For example, a tube of gold-bearing 1 mm stringers contains approximately 87 pieces, while a tube of 2 mm stringers contains approximately 33 pieces.
Some Bullseye stringer images are of the sheet glass color.
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 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.

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