I have alot of dichroic odds and ends that are small bits and peices left over from a decade of projects, and I was thinking of trying throwing some of it into a pot melt cast pyramid.
would the dichroic withstand the heat of around 1600 degrees?
I have been using blue and green aventuring powder and frit in my pyramid castings, and it has been interesting. I wanted to see if dichro would hold up to give other forms of sparkle.
does dichroic stand up in a pot melt?

it will stand up, but it will shred and get lost in a casting unless you're using a LOT of it. most likely you'll see a few shards of it in the interior. you could place the dichro pieces on the outside surfaces and you'd see a lot more of it, although it will move downwards as it melts.

This small pyramid has dichro, and the dichro looks great in it. Still nice and sparkly.
