Dumb question....

I've been experimenting with dichro in making bracelets. I just received a full sheet of DT2 pattern on Bullseye Thin Black glass from CBS. Now for the dumb question:
When fired, will the obvious pattern diffuse? ie: will the dots blend out?

i dont think so ... i had a piece of this as a sample, the bigger dots, and they stayed crisp.

ugh... I was soooo hoping. (not real thrilled with dots) I guess I could always rake it about with a BBQ fork eh?

someone else once mentioned that they had designed a pendant featuring a single dichroic dot. that could look good, especially if you put a piece of clear over the dot to add depth.
if the dots were on clear instead of black, you could overlay them upside down on other dichro, and probably get a neat effect. i dont use dichro on black, so i'm not much help in offering tips.

Lorelei,
Did you buy directly from CBS? You might call them and ask them if you can return it for a solid or one of their other patterns... as long as the sheet is undamaged, uncut, etc... they may take it back... you never know unless you ask.

Unfortunately I didn't buy this direct. I'll contact the place I did and see if they'll exchange it. Thanks for the info everyone.
