Default EDP no more and cost savings too

I should have said edp evil no more...and cost savings

NO this is not a paid add!


I am pretty sure that EDP is up to $90 a lb...I could be wrong...a little goes a long way if you put it over the new clear that I cited above.

I have made a few sets and slowly am making signature beads and my customers seem very happy with it.

The larger the bead the more you will still need the edp tutorial...
and the thinner the layer of edp over the new clear the fewer problems you will have with it )

REMEMBER! EDP is a hand pulled color and it LOVES TO EXPLODE! pre-heat your rods...personally I save every shard from my table top....none is wasted!

So you make the bead with the new moretti clear than 'encase' it with EDP? Do any of the other clears work? Just to be sure you DON'T put the clear OVER the EDP, right?

You make the base bead with the new moretti clear...item number is above...
then you put the edp over it...the thinner the edp the better...
now
you can also put it over lauscha(SP?)clear...it doesn't devitrify but IF
you put the lauscha on top of the edp ...the edp blances underneath (loses its color.)
below is the picture with lauchsa
the bead on the left had lauscha over the edp...you can see the color of the edp blanched under the lauscha but not in the other bead ( the new effetre clear mentioned here)...
just some additional information...

I posted here in another thread when I made this discovery.

I am glad I got that info wrong...I must have misheard at Frantz when I was there.

so OF the clear's I have tried...not all of them yet and I WILL test them all...
this clear I referenced seems completely compatible with edp...
but when I make the larger beads....I still have to deal with some devit...but not with smaller beads.

I am used to dealing with devit and edp....but now it is minor...

again the thinner the layer of edp the better
you will be able to love this color now...

I do have several other clears ..I will see what I get with them...
and I got 1 rod of the DH clear (Mike was giving it with your order when I was there) I can try that but I think that was a very small batch...don't think it is stocked...

sorry I missed this but I think I answered this in a post below...

the new effetre clear...the number of that item is in my post...
YOU CAN ENCASE over edp and retain the color....but not with lauscha...
see post above...

and remember my edp tutorial is on my website...link below...
the larger the bead you make ...you might have to dea with some devit...I know that I do in my signature beads....I need to try them with a thinner coat of edp!
