I really liked Universal as well, got it from Frantz too. I wrote Frantz and they said it's not being made anymore. I bought Fusion and it's good but it did start coming off when I was working on a bead for a while. I think double dipping would probably help that.

Bead release brands are like Game of Thrones characters: you don't want to get attached to them.

Try thinning the fusion a bit. It also seems to be temperamental based on the humidity in your area.

Fusion can be double dipped and it's up to you to decide if you like it that way. I make FosterFire but I don't recommend double dipping with my release.
