Yes glasstronics green is gone. so sad, I am hoarding what I have which is not much. So is china white, for which there is no replacement, I have 20 lbs of that and it should outlast me as I just use tiny amounts but it is crucial to my designs. So many glass colors they quit making that I loved, it's sad. Right now the glass makers are focused on pipe makers, and those kind of glasses are not really what I'm looking for. For my reds I am having luck with china red and dragon's blood, or half blood that is backed by either carmel or white or one of the lighter slymes. I never ever use one color alone for my designs. every cane I make for petals or stamen are layered with at least 2 colors if not more. For green I am layering shamrock over carmel and it stays stable for me, but I make pendants, deeper compression for marbles sometime will check.
I just got a new torch this week! so excited to explore the possibilities with this torch. Here is my first pendant on the new torch
