I got a "heater stove" from Sally Beauty Supply. My first one died after several months--I'm on my second one now. I also tuck a rod end under the kiln door. I have no patience for preheating...

Life with Devardi rods will improve greatly if you preheat them. The worst of the worst in terms of shockiness for me were the semi-opaque pink and the opaque pink. Steffi, I couldn't tell them...

1. Is Devardi worth its price?

I was really excited about Devardi glass when it was first introduced because of the price. I make huge plain beads for fan pulls and am always looking for cheap...

Same thing happened to me except that I was in the garage making beads and didn't hear the doorbell. Just what I wanted to do tomorrow: Go to the post office.

I have! It reminds me of the old Coke bottle green--just my impression. I've made really huge beads with this, and since the color is not heavily saturated, the bead is still recognizable as a...

I was just looking at the Devardi site, and now I'm thinking that the color may be the SOP blue green. I think that the SOP marine green would be a little darker.
