Dichro sampler?
I tried some dichro when I first started on the HH and after burning the snot out of it, never tried it again. I'm feeling like I'd like to try again but have no idea what to buy.
Do you have a favorite vendor or type where I could order a sample pack of it? I work entirely in 104 so that's my only stipulation.

Oh my gosh! Call Arrow Springs, ask for Amanda, and get some of the awesome lenticular dichro they have. It is so much easier to use, isn't as prone to scumming, and the colors are to die for. Very bright and vibrant. It was a one time deal for them, so it isn't on their website.
But- don't blame me when you want to have several pounds of it in every color.  he, he.

Thanks so much for the compliment Lisi! I do love the dichro strips that Ron Bearer sells - it comes prefused and is not as prone to scumming. If you are looking for sparkle and no scumming, I have had friends come over who have never worked with glass before and they have used the stringers with no problem FWIW

I second the Arrow Springs lenticular dichro. It is fabulous, and so much easier to use.

We have tons of 104 COE Dichro Scrap by the pound. you can order 1/2 pounds even if you want.
great way to get variety, at a good price.
I have a lot of Rainbow 2 PLUS scrap in 104 right now. it's a much heavier coating, and is VERY difficult to burn out.
