*Sigh*.......Aether......(Reverent Pause)......You were not the only one staying up until 3am - I was right there with you! I blew most of my glass budget for the year on 16lbs of it!! I'm tired of issues with other clears and want to make sure that I never have them again - and this is the clear to make my dream come true! It might just be me, but besides its workability in the flame, I also think it sparkles more on the finished bead. Not to mention that it sneers at MAPP/propane scum. It is definitely the Queen of Clears!! I also love the test batches that I got - particularly the TE 320 - and the AULT. I never much cared for the Aurae regular - but I LOVE this! I will be able to post a set over the weekend once I finish it! Jed and Julie sure made a great Christmas for me!!! Cheers! Joan
