Reichenbach Silver Brown light or dark?
Suddenly I'm confused about this color and not getting the usual results. Some of my recent twisties haven't been as bright. Could be I'm down to joining shorts....lol....but my question should probably be: Which version gives the strongest reduction? Using OCR they list 5010 and 5011.

Hi Megan, I can't help you because I don't use that color, but I'm sure someone else will pipe up soon.

I think it might depend on what you what it to do! A few years ago, I thought there was discussion that the darker rods were better for the storming technique, but I've seen some very nice moonstone, opal effects from the clear rods.

There is a thread here somewhere about it. Can you ask OCR? I have only used one version, don't know which, and strike it instead of reducing it.

Thank you so far....I found an archived thread earlier, but it wasn't specific. I'll call them tomorrow.

I can't get anything out of the latest batch of (light) silver brown I got It was one of my favorite colors to use. The dark silver brown I bought recently reduces great, but haven't used it much to be able to say.

Silver Brown is also a striking glass.
To get the same results as with the dark silver brown you just have to strike it.
Oxygen rich flame > apply your glass > let it cool until it turns brownish > a few short waves thru a reducing flame > let it cool again > strike it with a neutral flame.
You should get some bright colors.
Give it a try, it's a bit tricky but works.
The most important step is the cooling.
