which bead release?

[meadowesky]

Hi all! I am currently using the bead release that came with my flameworks torch. I have upgraded the torch and now i have to upgrade the release. This stuff is craaapppyyy! I am having the problem of it coming off around the hole of my bead and being imbedded in the glass. After that happens there is nothing I can figure out to do to get it off.

So what do you all use? I need something great but also with a great price. Thanks alot!

I use fusion, I get it at Frantz, and I really like it. Others use foster fire and some mix fusion and foster fire together.

Dip-n-Go Sludge, new from Arrow Springs. Love it.

I have Fusion too and I'm not planning to change it anytime soon. I just LOVE it... I was even able to try Boro with this release and I did'nt had any problems!

I highly recommend bucket o mud. I am terribly hard on my bead release, but it does the job and then the beads come off easy after they are annealed. I have no relation to the company, but I can't say enough good things about this bead release!

I'll throw in another plug for fusion! It workes for boro too. I have heard alot of wonderful things about bucket o' mud too.

Bucket O' Mud is my favorite. I'm on my second jar. No problems with any bead removal or cleaning.

Kragg Mud is my favorite, since it is so nice for transparent beads, but if I need more hold I use Bucket O'Mud. It's got a nice texture, and I haven't gotten it to break on a bead yet.

I've tried all 5 of Bill's Frit mixes and have been pleased with them all. The colors are really vibrant, and I've used them on Bullseye and Moretti with no problems.
