Linda,
There are certain dichro coatings that are more prone to that then others. Are you using it just cut? I slump all my dichro in a small fusing kiln before using it. It helps ME, although there are others who don't feel it makes a difference. I have noticed that the pink, blue and violet colors are most prone to this. The gold, copper, salmon, silver, teal, and magenta green are the most resistant.
If you want me to go through the list of coatings and give specifics, I will. I am at work and shouldn't even be reading this.
