What base color are you using? Maybe you're getting an icky reaction.

[Curly Irish Girl]

What torch/fuel system are you using? That might need a little tweeking to bring out the colors.

Try Boro Bora over Effetre or Vetrofond white! Gorgeous! I made some last night but will show you a pic a little later on today. :)

Or use Boro Bora and amber/topaz and pull into a frit stringer and put that over an amber/topaz base, that's really nice! I've done that with BE and Uroboros. I've never done it with Effetre, but I imagine it gives similar results. I done this on a HH and get the same results on the Mini CC.

Ok this is what I am using... vetrofond and moreitti white or clear, minor torch, with propane BBQ tank, and oxy gen machine.. I appreciate all ya'll helping.. I am not sure if I am using to much oxy or to much propane so if you could tell me that like my flame should be from { to } or some symbols that might help...lol \\:D/

[Curly Irish Girl]

Adjust your flame so that the crowns from each jet on the torch are sharp & crisp - do that by adjusting the propane flow - when in doubt, turn down the propane.

As for the oxygen - I use a concentrator and run it at 5L/min flow rate. Don't know if the generator is different in its output.

[CorriDawn]

How many times are you rolling it in the frit? if you have too much it gets murky sometimes

[Lizabeads]

I'm sorry I am using an Oxy Con machine.. NOT Gen...lol fingers got carried away #-o
I am only applying one coat of frit...

[Lizabeads]

I GOT IT !! \\:D/ I GOT IT ! \\:D/ I GOT IT !! Finally I got the raku to look beautiful.. purples and all... I fried the hell out of it with less propane and more oxy... I am so happy !! =D>

That's great!! Maybe I should work the raku a little hotter, I'm getting sick of that olive green I keep getting! Anyway, here's the picture of Boro Bora over white that I promised you, Elizabeth. :)

[Lizabeads]

I can't see them good.. can you send them to me?? hahaha No really they are beautiful !! :wave:
