Bead Release in 2020... what's good?
I finally need a new jar. My current one is Foster Fire and it's pretty good, but it keeps drying out no matter how much I tighten the lid. What's hot these days in bead release? Soft glass, dabbling in boro
=) |
No idea if there is anything new, I've been using Fusion for both soft and boro forever. Air dried. It seems to hold up really well to east coast humidity.
|
I second Fusion.
Ultra Blue (replacement for super blue) is pretty good too but doesn't clean as easily from the beads. |
Thank you! =)

I love my Fosterfire Smooth & Tuff.
I sometimes have to add a little dribble of water to it, but others have had the same thing happen. I figure it is the container isn't perfectly air tight. I thought about putting it into a glass jar or finding another plastic one with a watertight seal, but for now I store it in a ziplock plastic bag which helps. |
Speedslug (Phill) stores it upside down to prevent air infiltration.

Try storing it in the bag it came in. I buy long bags and loosely knot the bag so I can tie it and untie it. A bread bag will work if you threw the original away. Evaporation happens to all bead release.

If I have had to add a lot of water I put the big original jar on my Lortone tumbler for a while to blend it. |
