Default "Bubbly" Sublime

Hmmm... is Sublime a naturally "bubbly" glass or do I possibly have a bad batch?

It does bubble sometimes. However, I have found that if you work it a little cooler (like a crayon color) it works fine. Once you get it melted into the surface, you can go ahead and work it hotter.

I haven't had trouble with sublime bubbling in the flame but found out that I was
"cooking it" too long in the kiln. It's a very beautiful, gentle color so needs a bit of tender care - it melts so easily I would just work it a little cooler (that probably goes for a lot of colors I used to have trouble with - just don't be in a big hurry).

Sublime is a transparent lime green color. I haven't seen any that look clear. It should look like this: http://www.soleiletlune.com/webstore...4&cat=0&page=1

The cold rod and the finished product look the same.
