I don't have Fiddlehead, but I've been pleased with Iguana and Kermit. It seems the newer ones are not that bad. Except for Celadon.
Celadon is my current nightmare. I have not managed to even make one bead from this color yet. I pick the chunks up off my worktable and try to melt those and they shock as well. Horrible, and such a pretty color too. I don't have a way to preheat, so I'll really have to try again with a low flame when I have the time.

I've had that problem with Celadon off and on--the latest batch is VERY shocky. I can use it by preheating the end in the kiln, but that's all I get, it pops off at the temperature line. Just hope the next batch is better.
