Oh, sweet, thanks! Though if I'm understanding the instructions right, you need to melt a dent into the rod, and my hothead will never get hot enough to let me do that. Is anyone selling pre-dented...

Okay, this is totally awesome. Two questions:

1. Can you fume with a hothead? (Siiigh...)
2. Where can one get the quartz rod set-up for fuming nowadays?

All my beads are made with bullseye on a hothead with those yellow 1# cannisters of mapp/mapp pro (I can only find the pro nowadays, it seems). So, plenty of examples of how that works out for me in...

Nthing the pale tints. I default to crystal clear (I'm too impatient to melt down the thicker Schott rods on my teensy hothead, generally), but the tints simply never get scummy or weird.

Disguising chipped ends in finished pieces

I have a few recent beads that turned out beautiful, but chipped a tiny bit near the bead hole on one end when coming off my old, sadly fairly bent 1/16" mandrels before going into the kiln for batch...

I'm just going to bump this thread since we're talking about salt in beads in the gallery. I tried it, was super careful to use good ventilation and a P100 mask and just grab a tiny tiny bit off the...

Thanks! I just love the depth of color you can get with lustre stringer over reactive bases. It looks like some of the 104 silver glasses to me. Fun to play with!

I got some wonderful effects by drawing blue lustre stringer on top of nougat, reducing, and encasing with schott clear. (Also on this bead: strata, and dots of silvered strata stringer.)

Incidentally, where's the best place to order new BE odd lots nowadays if you want less than a full pound of each? I used to order from Breezy, and I feel pretty lost now that she's shut down.

I think that's hard with the hothead because it just takes so long for my clear to heat up enough to encase without flashing the bead while heating the clear. Maybe I'll try pre-heating the clear rod...

Sadie - That hadn't occurred to me, interesting! Thank you. I'll give it a try (with encasing some lustre for science) and report back.

On further experimentation, I think the stainless steel ones are least likely to survive the bubbles uncracked. I plan to test a bigger batch on nickel silver next.

Hooray Justin!

I also just got a new kiln, and ran my first test batch anneal yesterday without blowing up the apartment or killing anyone. I'm proud of both of us!

New Huppert kiln help?

So, I finally have a kiln. It was found for me by a friend, who hacked a wacky bead door onto it for me. I just drove to Boston and back (from NYC) in one night to pick it. Life is awesome.

I think that sounds right. A single layer of encasement can get you great trapped tiny bubbles, but this nuance seems to make a big difference! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I know annealing bubbles don't really anneal. Stupid name. But they do seem to help avoid cracking better than vermiculite, at least.
