Carribean Coral tips?

[SarahBlue]

Can anybody tell me how to get the deep oranges and coral colors out of Momka's Carribean Coral? (as opposed to the pinks and puttys??). I did some that I love, by accident, and can't remember what I did in order to successfully replicate.... Any tips on flame striking vs. kiln striking, encasing etc. all welcome! Thank you!!!!

I used to get the pinks/puttys too, then one day I made a simple round bead, heated the snot out of it (as in, totally clear), let it cool for an eon, then struck it and........voila! Lots of coral! It really is a beautiful color!

Ohhhh thank you so much for answering. What kind of flame are you striking it in after cooling?? I have been making notes and trying various steps and sequences but can't seem to recapture that orange or coral.... after you flame strike it and put it in the kiln, does it continue to change??? Thank you so much for answering.....
