Which one is the "good" clear now?
Vetrofond? Lauscha? Effetre? Who's selling the GOOD stuff? I'm sick of putting up with my scummy crap that's not labeled! 
Thanks!

Lauscha is the only clear soft glass I use. I get it from www.lampworkingsupplies.com

Thanks Chad! I'm just asking because I thought I'd heard a while back that even the Lauscha had fallen out of favor.
I know you also have to worry about how the supplier handles it because even if the good stuff arrives all scratched up, you've got a few pounds of garbage on your hands

My current clear of choice is Effetre Superclear. Go figure, eh?

"Superclear" is an actual thing? Who sells it?

Frantz used to have it. It was really cheap. I love it. Can't get it now, I don't think.

The last shipment of 004 Effetre that I received was a HUGE improvement over anything that I had seen in the past.

I've never heard of Superclear. Do you have any photos of anything made with it? Does it actually stay clear? If so, that would be a very good thing...
