Studio Nuggets Technical Data: Oceanside Studio Nuggets offer an excellent working range, and are tested-compatible with Oceanside 96 COE colors. They also work with most popular blowing colors, but as there is a wide range between the many colors, we recommend testing the suitability of these colors for your intended use. Melt at 2225ºF (1218ºC) in 25 pound charges. Wait until surface has leveled off, then charge again. Soak at 2100º to 2220 F (144 to 1204ºC) for 2 or more hours. Ramp down as slow as your scheduling permits to your desired working temperature. Common working temperatures are 2075º to 2125ºF (1135 to 1163ºC). “Squeezing” the glass 50 to 100 degrees below working temp will help facilitate a seed-free melt. (Different furnace types and sizes will use different procedures. Many blowers charge and soak at lower temperatures; turnover time will then be longer).

Strain Point: 898F (481C) | Anneal Point: 966F (519C) | Softening Point: 1270F (688C).

Studio Nuggets have a measurable expansion of 95 x 10 - 7 in/inºC (0º - 300ºC), and are compatible with Oceanside Compatible products but should be tested when using other blowing color products.
