Effetre and Bullseye rod size?????

lori 2 · #1 2012-10-26, 3:10pm

I have been using Bullseye glass for beads recently.
I was not diligent enough in keeping BE and Effetre rods completely separate.

I recently have some beads that cracked, and when trying to figure out which rod was the culprit, I think the Effetre rods are a bit larger. The Bullseye seems to be thinner.

Can anyone share their opinion please?
(But be gentle, I know I screwed up..., again)
I know I can always test for compatibility.

Don't really notice a diameter difference, but BE is longer. Before it's melted .......

Bullseye has a more consistent diameter, I'd guess about 4mm. Moretti can range tremendously, but is usually more of the 5-6mm thickness.
