Andrea - I think that glass is Clio because that is what I mostly use but I wouldn't swear to it.

Denise - I've been using my new batch of Uroboros for a couple of weeks.

Brad- I'm not an expert or chemist, I am just repeating what I have been taught (and validated by personal practice), as summed up in this quote from the Val Cox frit website:

Quote:
The metal oxides that give furnace glass its intense color also make it more elastic. This means that Val Cox frit is compatible with Moretti/Effetre/Vetrofond (104COE) and Bullseye (90COE) as long as you use it in moderation. A conservative rule of thumb is 5% of the weight of the bead. [All of Val Cox Frit is made with premium furnace glass (96coe).]
I would not however extrapolate this to mean that a 104 glass, even one with high silver content, could be used on the surface of 96 and certainly not on Bullseye.
