Hi Mary! DH has been making floral pendants for a while now but every time he uses silver glasses for them, they wash out to basically white! Is there a method or a reason why they would wash out? We know that he is probably washing out the color / silvers and have tried several different methods trying to keep them from washing out including lowering the heat, upping the heat, flame consistency ie: carborizing and reducing and trying the methods you mentioned above. Nothing seems to work. Most of them come out like the 2 light blue ones! The color is a dark blue. He has gotten pretty good at these but very frustrated because of the washed out colors! Because of the heat in having to melt these down does he need to stay away from the silvers? We just ordered a Bravo and are currently working on a mini cc which, I know, isn't a big enough torch but the pendants aren't very big either - maybe an inch or less. The colors he has been using are NS Blue, Blue Moon, Alaska Thunder. But there are a few others also.
Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! (Sorry for the blurry pics! These are HARD to get a good focus on LOL)
