It doesnt like the kiln............. Garage it less, problem fixed. I use Unobtanium in some form or another on around half of my pieces......... Forget each pound being different, every damn rod is different. I've had teals, greens, blues, and even a dark green/black come from Unobtanium. I stopped buying the variations in the 'tanium series because they were all so varied it just didnt matter much anymore..............

Great color, lots of bling for little $$

I like some of the odd lots a 'lot'. Ha! Woah. Anyway... one that I got recently was Kelly Blue, which is even sparklier than Unobtanium, it seems and is a pleasant shade of aqua/teal. Odd lots are cheap, too, like $20 a lb.

Unobtanium has always been a blue/green/teal for me and never had any problems encasing... love the sparkle

Some of the oldest rods I have look steely blue-grey. The newer ones appear more dark teal.
