Canary

Canary is a bright, intense opaque lemon yellow. It is eye catching and is well suited for stringer application and blown work. It is not terribly sensitive to flame chemistry but stay out of overly reducing flames. Canary, however, is heat sensitive so it must be worked carefully to prevent boiling. Encasing with clear is another method to shielding the color, but not necessary. Canary can be easily worked on the surface and will not boil or scar if worked carefully in a soft flame.

Available in Rod, Frit, Fine Frit, Powder Frit & Tube. Cadmium tubes are unencased.
