Default One more question Thunder & Silver Creek frits

Our wonderful CindyR gave me these two frits and I have no clue how to use them ( yes, I'm a boro newbie ).

Any tips? Do I strike them? If so, how do I strike them? What colors are they good with?


Thank in advance!
Karen

purple thunder or alaskan thunder?

silver creek is a striking color you can either flame strike or kiln strike. try over butterscotch and encase. get a white hot glow. wait a 1/2 a minute until glow is gone and then work it way out at the end of the flame slowly until the color strikes. pop in in the kiln.
or pop it in the kiln unstruck and bring it up to 1150 to 1250 for 30 minutes

Thank you so much!

Well shoot! It doesn't say. I think a word may have gotten rubbed off. If it helps, the frit is really dark purple-ish-blue.
