Hello All,

My memory is a sieve...

Once upon a time, ages ago, I made some beads where I took a stringer that I poked straight into the bead and snapped it off clean. I don't mean like when...

406025? 406 prefix?

I have a pound of glass that came packaged with the number 406025 on the plastic wrap. None of the glass rods are marked at all. I would call the rod peridot like in color.

I can't find any 025...

Nope, I haven't tried that, Suzy. Thanks for the tip! Can I do this if the kiln has already reached its annealing temp? Or do I have to rest the rods inside before the kiln starts to ramp up?

Yellows - 404 Lt. Lemon & 416 Bright Acid?

Is there a reason to have both of these yellows? I find the difference in color barely perceptible. Does one color do something magical that the other does not?
