Holy crap! I know you have to work these rods higher in the flame but I was making a bead with this as the base and it just started blowing apart after I had already heated up the rod and was in the middle of winding it onto the mandrel. Is this common in this glass? I have a rod of the 504 white and it didn't do this at all, in fact I made a really nice bicone out of it. I don't think I'll use that yellow rod again. Too bad too because I like that color. Just a very subtle yellow tint. Hm...

opalinos and alabasters have to worked really high in the flame, they tend to bubble up if they get too hot (also snap crackle and pop LOL)
