Goldstone Chunks

[Sylvie Anne]

Hiya!

Does anybody know if the giant hunks of goldstone are compatible with Bullseye or are they just a Moretti thing?

:-s

Judy,


Mike has it listed with the effetre frits.
http://www.auralens.net/ag_effetrefrit.cfm
It appears that it has a coe of 104, so I doubt it is compatable. If anyone knows of something that is, I'd be interested, too.


Also, can anyone explain the difference between goldstone and adventurine?
Thanks. :grin:

the chunks are compatible with what ever type of clear you are mixing it with.

[coyotesfamily]

also it is my understanding that goldstone and adventurine are the same thing...

So, perhaps the goldstone and adventurine frits listed on auralens are a coe of 104 because they were coated with effetre before they were ground up??? I've always assumed that because these frits have a coe of 104 they wouldn't be compatible with Bullseye, but if I pull my own stringers and coat it with Bullseye first, it should be compatible with Bullseye? I'll give it a try and see what happens. [-o< It would be great if it worked out. :smile:

Thanks :grin:

PS ~ I thought so too, but auralens has them listed as two different frits...I'm confused. :-k

I use my chunk Goldstone/Adventurine with all my glass. Effetre, Bullseye & Spectrum.
No problems.

Do you use the chunks and make your own stringers or do you buy the premade frit?

Thanks

I use big chunks and either make my own frit or stringer. I can use it on any soft glass.

I believe the adventurine or goldstone is actually a mix of copper and who the hell knows what else. basically it will be fine with whatever you mix it with. If you buy it prepulled, it is mixed with a certain COE of glass. if you just have chunks, hen use it with whatever glass you want

#-o OK, I get it now. lol! I assumed that because the frit I've purchased has a coe of 104, that goldstone had a coe of 104. So, since it takes on the coe of whatever it is encased in, do any of you know of anyone who sells adventurine/goldstone FRIT with a coe of 96 or 90?

Thanks for clearing that up, ladies. You are O:)s .

i have some chunks of both gold and green goldstone that you can make your own with...PM me if you are interested.

[IF-Designs]

You dont necessarily have to encase it with clear either :) I just heat it up and pull stringers out of the chnks I have they are very shiny and pretty an way better than the premade stringers you can buy :)

Thanks Sondra for the offer :-D , but I have a few chunks already. I was just wondering if any of the vendors carry Adventurine/goldstone frit with a coe of 90 or 96.
