Reichenbach 104 compatibilty problem

[Anne Londez]

Has anyone experienced problems with mixing Reichenbach 104 and Effetre ? I've noticed almost all my beads using their L4203 olive green as the base are cracked. It looks that it's a compatibility problem with Effetre opaque orange but I wanted to see if there has been more documented.

The only Reichebach 104 I use is the raku, and I've used it on a lot of Effetre colors with no problems. I don't encase it.

I read here and there over the years that the special colors are a bit of a problem as far as compatibility goes. Even with each other. They don't like to be encased in clear or other transparents, that I know. Maybe you could try this olive green with another color, but not any of the special colors?

I've had problems with Reichenbach white causing cracking when encased, but other than that, no other problems.
