Question Is there a chart for colors that sink?

Does anyone know where i would find a chart for colors that sink into other colors? And a chart for colors with copper and sulphur, i.e. that will react?

Never saw a chart for colors that "sink". Try using the "search this forum" for reactive colors. You will get ALOT of info.

Just found this as well. Been on here for a long time. http://users.zoominternet.net/~beadg...ce_effects.jpg

The general rule for glass is that transparent colors sink and opaque colors spread out over the surface. Black is actually transparent. It is really obvious if you do fusing, but you can experiment with it. I have also seen information from bullseye about the copper and selenium (I think) colors and their reactions, but I'm not not sure if there is one for effetre. If I remember correctly there are quite a few similarities with effetre colors. Also if you're experimenting with opaques and transparents you might notice it is easier to manipulate surface decorations if they are on transparent glass. I hope that helps a little.

Oops. I first read that as colors that "sTink"--and mentally pictured glass that was scented like the scented markers.

It would be a cool idea, no?

How about I chime in here? Here is the link

What you are looking for is in the Extended Heating Column. I'm working on new CiM charts right now (going from 3 pages to 21) so look for that later this summer.

This one is CiM Hades. It sinks.
