THE NEWEST
THING IN DICHROIC |
|
The Dicro-Slidetm
concept is the same concept of decals. If you ever did a model
airplane and added lettering, you used a decal, and Dichro Slide
works on a similar concept.
A thin dichroic
coating is applied to a special backing. You cut it to size and
shape, float the coating and binder off in water and apply to your
glass - any glass.
Here's how it works
out to your advantage:
-
Use with any glass, regardless of COE. Use the glass you have at hand!
-
Control how much you use. Only cut sizes and shapes you need
-
Cuts with scissors or use a decorative paper punch.
-
Stores easily - takes little space - and it won't break or crack like sheet glass
-
Available in solid colors
or in
pattern sheets
Sold in three different sheet
sizes:
- 4 x 4" sheets, 16 sq in
- 8 x 8" sheets, 64 sq in
- 16x16 sheets, 256 sq in
All are neatly poly bagged with complete instructions and usage tips.

CUT TO
SIZE |
|
Dichro Slide cuts easily
with scissors or use a craft punch (like those used in scrap booking)
for decorative shapes
Shown at left is a sheet
of cyan/copper (turns yellow/gold).
Note: You can use the
"negative" area left behind after your subject is punched for special
effects.
|
 |
|
FLOAT OFF
BACKING PAPER |
|
After cutting to the
desired size and shape, allow Dichro Slide to soak for a minute or two
in distilled water. The dichroic coating and special binder will
separate from the backing paper and you can slide it into position on
your glass
|
 |
|
FIRE AS
USUAL |
|
Dicro-Slidetm can be fired
on top of your glass, or you can cover with a piece of clear
glass to add depth and drama. The
oak leaf cab is shown set in a piece of old costume jewelry.
This example shows the cyan/copper (turns
yellow gold) oak leaf placed on a layer of thin clear set over a piece of
black thin with pink/teal (fires to blue) dichroic. |
