Which boro black?
Getting ready to order some more glass, and I need black. I got a pound of black from a friend a while back, but I don't know what it is. I tried pulling it down to a thin stringer, and it still looks black.
Which black to you prefer? It will mostly be used for pendant backs, so it won't be under clear, and won't be pulled thin.

I'm going the NS way on this one...... Onyx is the best...... Ninja is great for the stringers, but use a high oxy flame.

NS Onyx, no question there. For pendent backs try small frit or if your REAL (!) careful powder.

Yeah, I'll throw my 2 cents in for the NS-76 Onyx.
It melts much better and with less reduction than with any of the other blacks I have tried.

anyone usin jet black? And another thing which blacks would you NOT deep encase. I have avoided blacks for years because of bad issues with blackberry, had some and it killed alot of pieces. thought there was none in shop, havent had it in years, picked up what I thought was blackviolet or onyx. And it killed a huge marb, checking following the stripe allthe way down the inside of a vortex. Come to think of it it may have been ninja...hmmmm???
Sorry if I jacked the post...

I have some jet black ordered, but it hasn't made it here yet.
I have had no problem encasing Black Violet. I haven't used Onyx much, but it seems to work fine for me as well. One color I'll never use again is crackberry... I mean Blackberry. Even on the surface it seems like that cracks.
I have also had good luck using Cobalt 6 in things like vortexes. No light coming through it, so it looks black.

I picked up a couple rods of NS Black Hole. I just found out that it has been discontinued, and now I know why. It reduces very easily, and I work in a neutral to oxidating flame. I even tried extra extra oxy and it still reduced. Wierd stuff. Avoid it!
