I've been using a 50/50 mix of Fusion and Fosterfire for about 12 years. Holds well even with twisting and pushing, cleans easily, and even tolerates boro beads. It's a bit sensitive to humidity changes and can flake as a result, so I try to use mandrels within 24 hours of dipping and maintain a fairly stable temperature. I only have issues if I dip in my house, then travel to a studio space the next day. When I had a home studio I never had problems. New studio ready (hopefully) next week!
