Dicro Slide Color Blends are what is left after cutting the dichroic coated paper into sheets and squares. These packages are an excellent way to add lots of variety to your work at a great price! These Dicro Slide assortments are shown unfired and do not indicate the colors after firing. Each Color Blend package has a good variety of colors so, while finished colors will vary somewhat between pieces all pieces in a Color Blend package are within the same color blend.
Directions for applyng a Dicro Slide to glass:
Clean the surface of glass using dish soap and water or alcohol; mkaing sure the glass surface is completely dry. Once clean, only touch the glass by the edges. Fingerprints on the glass surface can cause the Dicro Slide to not bond propoerly with the glass.
Cut Dicro Slide into the desired shape or use other cutting tools, such as paper punches, xacto knives, etc.
Place a small amount of room temperature distilled water in a shallow dish. Place the Dicro Slide int he water and soak for 1-2 minutes or until it easily slides off the paper backing. Note: If the Dicro Slide soaks for too long it will separate from the backing. If this happens, carefully collect the decal from the water.
Slowly slide the Dicro Slide off the paper backing and onto the glass surface and position as desired. Gently rub the surface of the decal to massage away any air pockets.
Use a small piece of paper towel to soak up any water left on the Dicro Slide covered glass and let it dry overnight.
Dicro slide works well capped or uncapped. It begings bonding with glass at about 1100℉ and flows with glass as it moves or slumps
