I know Spectrum96 from fusing and I have a lot of boxes with fine frit from spectrum96.
I use them now sometimes with Moretti glass, but when you make beads with COE 96, you can use them all the way.
But I have now so much Morettiglass that it will me take years to get it burned up!

Because i live in the great northwest (USA) i am close to so many awesome glass suppliers and a few big manufacturers. I love Bullseye coe 90 and use it for fusing and beads. I also use a little Effetre coe 104 and some coe 96.
I love to cut strips from Bullseye sheet glass and make beads.

Mainly 104 (love ASK, R4 and DH), some 96 (love Caliente), a few 90 and now just got my Mr. Smiley's Boro Sampler set!
I have color tapes for everything except 104 so I don't mix them up. 96 rods get blue, 90 rods get red and Boro get green.
Wouldn't mind trying Satake someday.

In the studio I mostly have 96 (gee I wonder why) but I also have 104 and a sampler of the Easy Flow glass (too soft for me). I also got a rod of clear boro by mistake somehow....that was a crappy mistake!!!

Just got some Satake--leaded and lime--to add to the collection. Now I'm working on getting some Bullseye and a Uroboros sampler and then I should be pretty good to go...unless I start boro. That'll be a whole other mess...

Bullseye is pretty much the only glass-type I can get in the glass-stores here. But then again there's only about 3-4 stores that sell glass in DK for beadmaking. One just started selling Lauscha and some Boro.

I am such a glass addict I have almost all of it. Have tons of moretti/vetro/ask/cim/double helix, lots of System 96/Reichenbach/Zimmerman (when OCR was having their 30% sale I bought a 1/4 kilo of every System 96 color and then threw in what ever caught my fancy in the Reichenbach/Zimmerman. I think my favorite color is the Almond Opal, nice and smooth.) Forgot to mention I also have about 10 colors of Caliente Cane. I picked up a small sample pack and a pound of Dark Aurora Bullseye and now plan on ordering a full studio pack very soon. I have a couple of sample sets of Northstar and one of Glassalchemy, plus about 6 Momka's colors and 4 or 5 of the Glassalchemy one's that you can only get on e-bay, love the silver sands. Also have a ton of 3mm clear rods, didn't realize how much came in 1/4 case. Plus about 10 pounds of boro scraps that I have no clue what color they are as they are all dark so it's like a surprise every time I use them. And I swear every time a new or odd color comes out I just have to have it or I feel like some one with the DT's!!! Maybe someone should start a GAA group (Glass Addicts Anonymous)!!

You could always trade some 96 rod for some 96 twisties.
90- mostly
96-cane and Uroboros rod, lots of frits and chunks...
104-Effetre, DH, Tag ,etc...

104 here. I can't imagine trying another COE - it's taking forever and huge amounts of money just to get all the glass I want in one COE.

I try not to quote and I am a big fan of not quoting big long pix but this will be my exception and will you adopt me? You are so lucky to have all kinds of fun glass!  Maybe I can be your sponser for GAA!

Lots of CiM 104, plus Vetro Odds and some Moretti (EDP, copper green), a little ASK, some R4 silver glass, 96 frits and Raku, and some Reich and Gaffer cane, a little Uroboros and Spectrum System 96.
I put my BE aside for now, but I just bought a couple of lbs. in the garage sale so I'll be picking it up again one of these days. I don't think I will try boro any time soon.
I think I have 50 lbs. of glass in my stash, and I just started lampworking in March. I have some original DH but I'm saving it for when I get better at beadmaking. Also some of the new test colors. I wonder how many hundred beads I will make before I feel confident melting my good glass?

I'm a fuser turned lampworker so I have tons of 96 sheet glass, frit, stringers and such, I have cut strips of it and done a few beads. I figure if I ever get to where I can't afford to buy the 104 anymore I can always cut up the 96 sheets. I have a small collection of boro but don't have the heat to really melt it properly and learning all you need to know about those glasses it just way too miuch right now. I ordered some Red Elvis from Tag once thinking it was soft glass. Even tried to use it with some 104, boy was that interesting, I should have known. It wouldn't even stick to the stuff and when they cooled they literally exploded.
I just got to thinking, I have about 10 jars of the 96 frit mixes and may use some strips of white 96 with them. I just know I'm the one that will use 26% on a bead that I just love and it will crack all to pieces. That's my luck.
I'm a 104 girl all the way, no room for any more than I have. Good luck with your quest.

Of course I'll play with anything that my hothead will melt... ...& I've gotten it to melt some pretty darn big rods of 96 COE vintage stuff! (like 12mm+!)

Only thing I've added to my "glass stash"/COE assortment since I originally posted is a tiny sampler of Gail's handpulled gaffer stuff...(one pound of her odds ...I want more.)
Still drooling over the bullseye studio stocker, the caliente cane, & the satake sampers...sigh...
