EDP
Now that EDP is no longer available, what would be a good substitute?
|
Purple rose
|
I agree. I wonder how some enamel will work on that? Some dark orchid maybe to give it that pink?
I was JUST about to list a new style of production bead using edp too, guess not. |
Well, maybe CIM will come up with something.
|
Is purple rose a Reichenbach 104COE or 96COE glass and does it debit like the EDP does?
|
I believe it comes in both COEs, and it did devit for me, but I was able to finish the bead, cool it a bit, then reheat gently to a surface glow to remove it if memory serves.

Has anyone learned WHY they are discontinuing EDP?? I am just in shock, as that is one of the longtime staples in my glassy world. :(

Regulations by the Italian government for use of the ingredients needed to make the glass. Sort of what Bullseye went through recently. Shame!

I found it. Not exactly like Bullseye. This has been in play for years.

I don't know the ins & outs either, just comparing the issue of regulations being applied more frequently to our glass manufacturers.
I suspect this has been going on for some time, though, as I can't recall the last time Frantz had EDP in stock or when Effetre would have done their last run with it. I wonder if it will affect any other colors? |
I guess not having EDP will change all those recipes for making the various beads that have those super reactions when you use EDP. 😕
|
Does anyone know where to find purple rose frit

I don't even know what to do with them honestly, twisties? Stringer? |

With EDP, I feel like it will go the route of Z-99, frit will become increasingly popular. Two rods would make enough frit for several bead sets :-) |
It's arsenic, apparently. Not a problem in using the glass, but I can see why it might be an issue for the factory, employeess, and neighborhood.
