Fireworks Bead Release
This comes in powder form and you add water. I have never used it and wanted to sell it but there has been no interest. Has anyone ever used it? Is it crap??? I am curious but won't bother with it if it's not worth the effort. Anyone familiar with it?

I have read that it's crap. Basically everything the company makes is. It's hard to mess up a metal rod,but they could try!

Actually, I use Fireworks mixed into FosterFire as my dead-of-winter mix. For some reason the dipped mandrels hold up better to the ridiculous swings in temperature and humidity in my studio with a little of the FW stuff mixed in. My studio is unheated, except when I fire up the propane heater, so in January or February it may go from sub-zero with extremely low humidity up to 50s/60s with condensation dripping from everything and back again. Hard on bead release, unless I remember to carry my mandrels back into the house after a session.

Fusion works the best for me.

I'm not a fan of their bead release, and won't even attempt to try their glass.
I bought some of the bead release from a local craft store, where it was already dried up.
Their tools have worked fine for me though.

This is very interesting 
I have a summer and winter mix as well. I use sludge plus (without graphite) in the winter, but when it's humid in the summer I find I have to add some sludge with graphite or use fusion, so it does not flake off.
When I had the outside studio, I used foster fire. That stuff could freeze and come back to life perfectly. It never needed any real adjusting to the conditions. It just worked!
