Red Opal Stringer/Ribbon (0124), Fusible, by the Tube
Threads of glass pulled from re-melted Bullseye Compatible sheet. For use in kilnforming or torchworking.
Stringers come in 0.5 mm (“Fine Line”), 1 mm, and 2 mm thicknesses and are approximately 17.75" (451 mm) long. They are packed in clear plastic tubes that are 18" (457 mm) long and 0.75" (19 mm) in diameter. Tubes are packaged by volume. A tube of .0.5 mm stringer contains approximately 350 pieces. A tube of 1 mm stringers contains approximately 123 pieces. A tube of 2 mm stringer contains approximately 50 pieces.
Tubes of colors made with gold contain fewer stringers, to reduce unit price. For example, a tube of gold-bearing 1 mm stringers contains approximately 87 pieces, while a tube of 2 mm stringers contains approximately 33 pieces.

From the tube I thought it looked kind of weird as it wasn't shiny like other ribbon I am familiarr with (I don't have a lot of experience, though). But after firing, it looked the same as the other colors. It did cut funny, though. For the others I can score them straight across and they will break accordingly, but for the red ribbon, when I did the same, it broke looking like an arrow point. I tried 3 times and got the same result. I just used it like that as it didn't matter for the design I was doing, but I thought that was kind of weird, and it could have mattered.
