COE 90/ Toxic Tomato - Red during the day and glows Green in the Dark sheet glass
This listing is for 1 sheet of Toxic Tomato Glow in the Dark glass. It is red during the day and glows green at night! It is handmade here in the Pacific North West. It is perfect for your unique stained glass projects. It is a bit thicker than a standard sheet of glass. It is closer to 3.5 to 4mm in thickness. (It will vary due to the handmade nature). Each sheet is larger than the specified size. During the firing process the edges curl up a bit. Because of this, I cut the sheets larger so that you have the full size to work with! Due to the handmade nature of the glass the thickness ranges from 3.5 to 4mm.
As an artist, I understand the need for unique glass for your projects. This is what fuels my desire to create unique glass! This glass is a bit thicker than a standard sheet of glass. It is closer to 3.5 to 4mm in thickness. (It will vary due to the handmade nature). Each sheet is larger than the specified size. During the firing process the edges curl up a bit. Because of this, I cut the sheets larger so that you have the full specified area to work with!
One side of the glass is smoother than the other. This is the side I recommend you cut on. Also, if you are doing copper foil overlays, I also recommend apply the foil on the smoother side. When you flux, patina and wax this glass, caution is needed. As stained glass artists know, textured glass will stain easily. I include an instructional handout in all orders.
If you need a larger volume (or different size!) than I have listed, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, colors may appear different on different monitors. I can not guarantee that the color you see on your device is the same as in person.
In order for Glow in the Dark items to properly glow, they will need to be charged. Charging is done with a light source. An ultraviolet light will always charge them quickly and to their full brightness. Not all light sources will give you the same length of glow or brightness.
This glass loves to be charged with the sun or an intense UV light (blacklight).
Glow in the dark glass has phosphorescence... meaning it contains a special substance called phosphor. Phospors give off visible light after being energized. (This means that they have to soak up light for a while before they will glow!) I use strontium aluminate which is a new phosphate that allows a "super" glow! It stores about 10 times more light than zinc sulfate (Another type of phosphor used to create glow in the dark items). As a result... the glow lasts longer!
