Dichroic Frit

 

 

Dichroic on 1 mm Clear beads.

 

This frit was made by applying dichroic to tiny, 1 mm sized faceted COE 104 CLEAR glass chatons. Since the factory already makes these chatons, adding the dichroic made it simple. These melt very easily, and encase nicely. Or use them as surface decorations. But, they cannot be inserted directly into the flame. Please watch the  Video on these Dichroic Chaton Beads.

1 ounce $5.79

260 Yellow Brass Wire

Watch Brass/Copper Video - 2  In Video - 2 we demonstrate the 260 Brass Wire, the 260 Brass sheet and the Copper sheet below.

This 260 Yellow Brass Wire is the finest. purest brass wire available. The 260 Brass alloy is used with jewelry because it closely resembles the color of real gold. Comes with Powdered Boric Acid which allows the brass to flow easily without causing oxidation. Just heat the wire very little, roll it in the powder that you place on a marver or a metal surface to add a thin powdered coating, and melt the wire in the flame. If you don't use the Boric Acid Powder, the brass will not flow smoothly and causes a rough, organic surface. With just a slight amount of the powder the brass smoothes to a rounded surface. (See samples below). Melting point is 980 degrees Fahrenheit, much lower than COE 104 glass. ALWAYS USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHEN MELTING METALS AND POWDERED BORIC ACID. 2mm or .08 inches thick.  2 feet: $1.99

This bead below shows what the 260 Brass Wire looks like WITHOUT the use of Powdered Boric Acid. Very organic appearance. Looks like gold nuggets. That's Devardi SOP Caramel Glass.

 

 

This bead below shows what the 260 Brass Wire looks like WITH the use of Powdered Boric Acid. You can see how nicely it flowed, and also how golden it is. That's a gold-plated Pandora insert.

Pure 260 Brass 36 gauge sheet. .005 inches thick. You can cut this with a scissor, but thick enough that it will not bend when you hold it horizontally from one corner. Super nice for making organic beads like the one below. Or mix it with the powdered boric acid that comes with it that causes it to flow into shiny golden balls.  The 260 Brass alloy is used with jewelry because it closely resembles the color of real gold. Melting point is 980 degrees Fahrenheit, much lower than COE 104 glass. ALWAYS USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHEN MELTING METALS AND POWDERED BORIC ACID. 4 inches x 6 inches. $3.99/each

Sample bead

 

Use either of these brushes below to clean your beads after applying brass or copper.
 

       Better than the brass brush.

 

One high speed stainless steel brush. 1/8 inch shaft, 3/4 inch head. We've used these recently and believe they work better than the brass for cleaning brass and copper incorporated beads. They won't leave metal residue behind like the regular steel or brass brushes can. $2.49 each

 

Use the center brass brush. Mix some baking soda with straight dish soap in a small bowl. Dip in the brush and scrub your bead clean. Three brush set. Nylon, Brass and Steel brushes. 7 inches. $2.99 set.
