Apparently Dennis has the most issue with my response. Fact of the matter is System 96 is tested and sold as compatible within the system. Nothing else we have is. That leads me to believe that one should either use just that system, or recognize anything else, even 2 colors of Lauscha (as an example) is an experiment. On a very technical level much of the work we do is an experiment. We some how gloss over suggesting that Lauscha might crack with Moretti because it doesn't for most people. We gloss over a lot of the other technical issues with glass because some newbies start to get confused. As they progress they ask other questions and learn in more detail. I guess we could go back to suggesting everyone read one of the lampworking bibles when people as a general question.

I'll go back to my response. Most people have great luck using the frit with a different COE. There is more to the glass than the COEs matching. As has been mentioned viscosity and I believe lead content as well.
