I like all 4 for different reasons.
For shaping I prefer the vetro, it is a bit stiffer and doesn't stay soupy as long.
For veins I love effetre, for caramalizing, vetro.
For reactive frits and glasses I usually stick with the light ivories because they don't turn black as quick.
For silvered stringer the darks because the silver pops more. If I want the stringer to spread I use effetre, if I want the stringer to stay smaller and more defined I use vetro.
I have a 1/4 pound of the translucent odd, I never melted it. I will have to try it now that I read this thread. Is it as reactive as the other ivories?
