*sniff* I didn't know Sara at all so why am I tearing up here? I was just a beginner lampworker when I tried The Blue Bead. That was back in 2005. I must have read this tut around the fall of '05....

I'm hanging my head in embarrassment. I'm the one who was upset because the LSC was cracking. Well, I took the advice from one poster about really getting the bead glowing before putting it into...

Sorry but another question about reheating in the back of the flame until glowing. On a HH would I just use the outer part of the flame and heat until glowing, similar to a dual fuel?

Paula,

What annealing schedule do you recommend? If I could get it to stop cracking I'd use it all the time!

Carolyn- I'm waiting for my shipment of DC to come in from Frantz. The DC is on backorder. I may have to just stick with DC. It's a bit stiffer to work on a HH but it stays fairly clear.

I use a 7 lb tank of Propylene. I once tried propane in a pinch and didn't appreciate the sootiness of my beads.

I tend to stray away from rods that are 6mm. But- if the soft lauscha does what it's supposed to, works softer, then maybe that won't be a problem. Just for me, working on a HH, the 6mm...
