Exploding BE
OK....this is a new one for me. I love the Bullseye...the colors...the viscosity . . . everything. There are these two really sweet colors, the coral-orange transparent and the juniper green . . . lovely!
However, for the first time in my life, I've had the plain old unembellished, no encasing, no extremities bead explode on the mandrel, while it was in the flame! Only those two colors, and while hot.....not molten and moving, but warm and pliable. (I could have flatten them if that had been my intention.)
So, I know they got too cool at the core, and they shocked from the inside, but there was no warning "ting", they just blew! There's two central breaks, causing even halves but the halves shattered too.
I just can't see how to work those colors if they don't cool without bursting. Share please, what's the trick to them?
