So with Arke, those that have used it, is it easy to over reduce? Which seems to be one of my things to do with reduction glass  |
No real secret to Thallo. With reduction glass, less is more, most of the time, imho. Let your bead cool a little, lower your oxygen a little, waft your bead through the flame a few times.
If you are going to encase it, keep it under the flame while you do. Using a good clear is helpful. I usually start with a base of clear, sometimes I add a thin layer of a transparent to vary the color. That's about it.
