What COE do you use?

[Cracked Baubble]

do you use multiples? how do you store them so you're not getting them all mixed up? (I imagine myself with a table full of rods not knowing what is what, I'm a messy creator) do you use one more than others?

104 and 96(german glass)
I only have out the glass type I am working with. I am pretty good about cleaning up before anothe type comes out. Sometimes I just gather up the glass into glasses or jars and put aside to sort out to their appropriate containers later. I am a fanatic about keeping things in their proper containers. OCD or anal?;)

I use 104, 96 and boro. I have them stored in a big armoire in separate areas, and I label the 96 and 104 when I pull a rod out, IF it's an iffy color to identify. I use one of those electrical tape multicolor packages....blue for boro, green for Gaffer and most 96, and white for 104. I just wrap the end when I pull out a new rod, just in case I'm bouncing from 'flavor' to flavor in one sitting. Boro is pretty easy, because I tend to clear my entire bench and just have a boro day or two.

120, 113, 104, 96, and 33. Each one gets cleaned up before another comes out. :)

I use them all but label each rod.:rolleyes: And I usually use several of them in one torch session, however...... I do push the other rods away into a little separate pile. This morning it was Moretti, Bullseye and a few boro just for good measure

90, 104, Boro. All kept in their own glass boxes. Never pull out a different type without completely clearing off my work top. Any stray piece of stringer I'm not sure of gets dumped. All BE is labeled because even after two years, I'm not always sure of the BE colors by sight.

I use 33, 90, 96, 104, and 113... to keep them separate each COE has a different shelf on my glass rack, and also I use a cookie sheet for each COE that goes on my workbench while I'm torching and back on the rack, full of partial rods, stringers, etc, when I'm done.

Kalera, I love the cookie sheet idea for partial rods from the workbench! Saves time on cleaning up if you just remove the cookie sheet...why didn't I think of that....?? =)
