CIM Buttermint Crack Help...

[gellerl]

What the heck...made one bead and it cracked along the black and buttermint seam, so I thought maybe I heated it uneven....Tried again and same thing...crack goes along the whole black and mint seam...Anyone else have problems w/ the CIM buttermint color and compatibility issues...very frustrating when they are suppose to be compatible...Any suggestions on how to use up the rest of the mint??? Or if this is a compatibilty issue...thanks for the help...Laurie

Butter Mint is the CIM 96 COE?

Laurie,

Buttermint is Messy 96 what glass did you use for the black? Cause Messy 96 doesn't have any black.

If you used th ebuttermint ( coe 96 ) with coe 104 glass, than thats the problem.

That would be the problem then because I used moretti but I also used the buttermint w/ moretti ivory and silver w/ no problems but maybe because it's softer...thanks for the help...mucho appreciated

The Messy 96 colors will often work with a small amount of 104 (think frit, only reversed) - but you are taking a chance each time you mix them. That looks like it was simply too much black glass. It's a beautiful look though - add some 96 black to your glass shelf and try again!

so CIM Buttermint is only offered in 96 coe and not their 104 line?

correct - Buttermint is only a Messy 96 glass, not a CiM 104 glass
