CBS has found a way to give you A PURE
TRIPLE THICK DICHROIC COATING with out the glass. A very heavy
layer of CBS dichroic material is deposited on a sheet of copper.
You can then use the coating, all by itself without any base
glass, in beads, kiln fired jewelry and in kiln fired castings.
The dichroic coating is bright and silvery with rainbow highlights
throughout.
NO COE TO
WORRY ABOUT
Use this product with any glass as the coating will expand,
contract and flex as you work your glass.
USING
DICHROIC COATED COPPER FOIL
BEAD MAKING / TORCH WORK
Use a craft knife to score the dichroic surface into the width
desired. You can then cleanly pick up the dichroic material by
marvering a hot gather of glass (see photo at far left)
You can also scrape the coating from the backing. This will give a
more random effect as you roll your bead through the flakes of
coating.
Take care when returning your bead to the flame to not burn off
the coating.
KILN WORKING THE COATING
For making kiln worked pieces (kiln fired jewelry or kiln cast
objects), the "scrape with a craft knife" method seems to be the
most popular. After scraping the coating from the copper, you can
manipulate the flaked coating on your base glass. Most artists
will then cap over the dichroic flakes for added depth.

6x12" sheet
$45.98 ea.
NOTE: Coated foil is a fragile
item. The coating does not bond firmly to the copper base
(otherwise you would not be able to use it) and you will find some
flaking away from the copper base when you receive your sheet. |
