Can I get away with a smidgen of dichro?

[Lush!]

I used a tiny touch of dichroic in the shoulder of this heart.  Will I get away with it, like using frit, or is it likely to fall apart any moment now?

Thanks Jean - I just hope it stays pretty in one piece!

Julie, I did the Teresa Laliberte' course and we did a heart with a touch Dichroic, it has been fine and that is over a year ago.
So I suggest that you go girl and sparkle away 

[Lush!]

Ooh, that's good news Rita!

Was the Dichro on glass, on copper or was it dust type.

Dichroic should be ok with any glass in pure form.  pretty bead btw

The heart is lovely!  I have 104 dichro, it works fine on beads 104 glass and boro dichro for boro.  I have seen other people use it on beads for sale, including some of the strip dicro in the middle of hearts, so it must be fine. Janet

We did it straight on 104 glass

What was the dichro on to start with? It's a coating, so it can be put on any coe of glass. Or not on glass at all, with the copper foil.

(I have some in 104, 96 and 90 after the Warm Glass sale...)

I use dicro in hearts all the time, so unless you've used a lot of incomopatable coe 's it should be fine.

Gorgeous heart too x

[Glassy Lou]

I did a little gasp when I saw that.
Soooo pretty. Gorgeous colour.
I hope it makes it...

[Lush!]

I should have said, the dichro is a fused 90 strip, hence my apprehension! But I've used a tiny bit so I'm wondering if I can get away with it, like frit?

Let's hope so Julie, as it's a lovely bead

If it doesn't survive, I can send you a bit of Bullseye in similar colours so that you can recreate the beady heart x

[Hotglass28]

I reckon it will crack in time then. Get the polorisor on it.
