Burner work with the use of an air burner is highly effective with this glass. The glass begins to melt quickly upon putting in fire, so work is simple and can even be recommended to beginners. Also, another benefit is the tractable formation of shapes, due to the softness of the glass.
  
 
The glass can be used to craft a gamut of works from small glass beads to large tombo-damas. Small animal figurines can also be crafted. For sample works, click here.

Satake Glass offers two types of glasses: lead and soda. Both can be used similarly with an air burner, but mixture of the two is not recommended. The glass compound may be subject to cracking. There is no problem adding dots or placing small amounts of glass to the surface of another glass, but it is not recommended to craft parts or laces with the two types of glasses.

SIZE:

Soda lime color: 113

Annealing Temperature:
890°F
 

Annealing temperature: 890°F
Annealing is the controlled, slow cooling of glass to room temperature. Very small pieces can be put into an insulating agent such as vermiculite or perlite, which allows them to retain heat and cool slower. Allow at least 1 hour, depending on size of piece.

If using an annealing oven or kiln, anneal at 890°F for 10-20 minutes. Lower to 750°F, 20 minutes for small bead, 1 hour for large bead. Lower to 390°F for 2 hours. Turn off and cool to room temperature.

  

Including both soda and lead, there are a total of 160 colors. These colors include primary colors, pastel colors, ancient Japanese colors (unique to Japan and gives a kimono flavor), and more.

The glass is highly sensitive to temperature changes. Finished products should be well cooled. Even a 1.5 cm tombo-dama requires an hour of cooling in vermiculite. In warmer temperatures such as summer times or warm areas, it is recommended to protract cooling time.

For people whom already use Moretti or Pyrex for burner work, there are no other necessities. For those whom use oxygen burners, please be cautious for the glass can melt too much in some cases
