Exclamation Call for Testers

I need some testers to test out a suspicion/theory I have about Effetre 069 Electric Yellow. All I would like you to do is make me one or two beads using Electric Yellow in them and mail them to me. It can be either as a base color, frit or decoration. It can be as simple as 1 dot on a white bead or as complicated as you like. It can be left raised, melted in, overheated, boiled, pushed, pulled, pressed, encased or not, mixed/blended, twisted, whatever. It can be a wonkie or not - just have fun with this. I need you to keep detailed notes about what you did, what torch you used, annealed or not (and at what temp-etc.) and mail them to me so I can test my findings. Please include the notes about your bead, your Lampwork Etc. ID, and your business card if you have one (so I can tie it to the bead to help keep track of who did what). You'll find my address here.

You don't need to sign up for anything - just PLEASE help me out with this and do it. You may even want to do 2 identical beads and keep one for yourself so if what I suspect happens with this color does, you can test it out yourself.

After I confirm my findings with yours and can tell you under what conditions it does or does not happen, I'll let you all know - but for now I need you to fly blind so the findings are not skewed.

What you'll get in return are my eternal thanks and gratitude, helping out with what could be a pretty important finding, knowing that you're increasing the knowledge base about this color, and a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Thanks!

I will check to see if I have the color and if I do I will certainly send you a bead or two.

I'll see if I have that color - I should have had one in my (4 year old!) sample pack. I don't know if I used it or not!
You sure have my curiosity up!

Does it have to be the Effetre version, or can it be Vetrofond? I have the vetro one, but not the other.

Yes, it's the effetre striking yellow.

At first I was going to say only the Effetre one, but now I'm just a tad curious as to if the Vetrofond version will do the same thing or not so sure, just make sure it's marked in your notes that it's the vertrofond color.

And for those who don't have any, if this is as big as I suspect it will be, you might wannt to get a rod or two of this to have on hand cuz I'm sure it will be HOT!

I'm sure I have both and I'm dying of curiosoity. It will be a few weeks before I am unpacked but I will send you beads of both. I cut and pasted you to a word file to be sure I won't forget

How wonderful! The more the merrier.

The more beads I get, the better I'll be able to determine the factors that affect what I'm looking at.

I made mine on a HH, and kiln annealed at 968, Moretti glass as far as I know. Not sure what other factors you're looking for, but that's noted and they're packed - ask me any other questions you need once you see them?

Hey, Kay, not sure what you're looking for, but I'm game! It might be a week before I can torch, but as soon as I can I'll make you some, and send them with the info.

I'll give it a go as well ... just to see.

I'm pretty sure I have some of this color.

Why re-invent the wheel Kay? This isn't an important "finding" it's been public knowledge for decades.

Go ahead if it will help you save the world.

...and remember for that "warm fuzzy feeling" you should be in a non-ventilated room when you do it and breathe really deep... aaaaahhhhhh! Nothing like a little depleted uranium in the lungs!

Actually Heidi, this isn't the finding I was getting, though that is a nice torso and uranium glow.

I also don't appreciate the condescending tone of your message.

Hi Kay -

I made some beads out of M069 last night, and will get them in the mail to you Monday at the latest.

Wonderful! I got NLC's Beads (Nikki) yesterday and was thrilled that one of them has the effect I was looking for - but it totally blew my theory of what's going on....so....the more beads the better!

Three Muses Glass also got the effect I was looking for on a couple of hers. Thank you so much! So far we've manages to shatter the theories I had about what's going on, so I hope that after I have a few more, or have a chance to think about things, I can figure out what IS going on.

Rats, it seems I only have striking transparent yellow . I wanted to help you out since you actually responded so nicely to my dumb question!

I am not sure how long you plan to collect beads but if you wait until after I pass my probation at work (two weeks) I will buy some of this glass if I can find this color. I really like that it glows .

Alaina, I've never heard of striking transparent yellow. There is electric yellow (069) which strikes, there is transparent yellow (00 which is just a pale yellow, straw yellow (049) if you have #069 then that is the one that Kay is asking about. (I think...)
