Northstar also has suggestions on how to use their glass. Check their website.
Boro colors are costly per pound but will go a long way as a lot of clear is used.
Simax is a good clear to use and fumes well with both gold and silver. Using 3 mm clear rod is great for encasing beads and laying down a first layer on a mandrel.
For pendants and marbles consider 9 and 12 mm clear.
Overall purchase more clear than colored. Clear is much less costly and comes in 1500 mm lengths. Check if D&L Glass out of Denver still caries Simex.
