Judith I made a few encased with diamond clear 2 days ago (Pandora type) and they did not crack. I'll post pictures when I get my camera out. I tend to use my garbage clear because of all the bubbles, but the diamond clear sure does sparkle
.
I did also use the brass mesh that I got from our local group meeting this past Saturday. It works great but IMHO takes a little more heat to get the bubbles to form. I just cut a really skinny piece of brass and wound it around the bead. These beads did not crack.
I tried the red glass but must of used the wrong red. I'll try again later.
