Question Old true Morretti white

Does anyone have the old batch of COE 104 moretti white.
Have about 4 lbs from different vendors and it is not the same.
I need the dense white that stays white when making encased petals for florals
Any suggestions please,
MarieAnn

Thanks guys.
I have it from the Gathering 2010 and have issues with it being incombatable with moretti black or the Lausha clear. Must be how I work it. The encased beads develope cracks along the the cim twistie line. Not at fist but within a few months. Heartbreaking to watch all that work and time crack. So I do not mix with other glass.
What clear are you using it with the cim peace?

My CIM peace did the same thing. I did some tests because I was looking for a new denser white. I did a bead that was rings of white and clear as a test.... broke apart after 2 months right at the divisions. I had already been using peace for white base dots for flowers. I just hope they are still all fine....

I've read that the white used in the pre-pulled stringers is denser than the white in the rods. If you need thinner stringers, maybe pull a stringer off of a commercially made one (??)
