I AM SORRY
I am using 96 COE
I am in love with the Multicolor Dark and the bluegreen

Just wondering if the other colors are as good and do they need to be worked at the top of the flame. I got Strawberry and it seems to smuge up a bit.

Thank you for any and all information you could give me.

Many of the Reichenbach colors will tend to reduce or soot up easily, so you want to work them with a lot of oxygen. A great thing to to with the dark transparents is to pull stringer and dot them onto an opaque base color then heat them thoroughly, which will make them spread. You can get a number of really lovely effects this way!
