Trautman Art Glass via Nortel Manufacturing
Turboco
Highly saturated cobalt blue that reads as black when used thick and true cobalt blue when used thin; work in an oxidizing flame to avoid gray streaks.
Outcomes
-
Deep black when used thickUse TurboCo thick for a near-black appearance. Keep an oxidizing atmosphere to prevent gray streaks.
-
Rich saturated cobalt blue when used thinUse TurboCo thin to reveal its highly saturated cobalt blue color. Oxidizing flame required.
-
Gray streaks (undesirable)Reducing the glass causes gray streaks — keep the flame oxidizing to avoid this.
Working notes
- Never reduce — reducing causes gray streaks.
- Work in an oxidizing flame at all times.
