Linda,
I have to agree with Debbie. All 104 dichroic is not created equally. Pre-fused is certainly the way to go. I've used inexpensive dichro from one vendor and it would scum and burn if you looked at it wrong. I then purchased 104 dichro from someone here on the LE forum and it was wonderful. I could work it with no problems at a much higher heat.
Another thing to do is to make sure you have all the raw edges of your dichro pressed down good on your bead before encasing. Raw edges have a tendency to burn really quick before you can encase.
