Also, I used to make stringer out of iris gold frit and light brown trans rod. I would dot this on all kinds of stuff (black!) and get some wonderful reactions. Well, this new iris gold I purchased doesn't work as well. I think it's Kugler's Iris Gold frit, believe it or not. Any thoughts on why it's not doing what it used to do?

Hmmm I haven't tried the Kugler Iris Gold, only the Reichenbach.... it does exactly the lovely reactions you mention. Was the old Iris Gold you had Reichenbach? That might explain it.
I like to use a lot of frits to make stringer... a blend of Iris colors, for example. Mostly I stick with ones I know are reactive, and for me, the key is play, play play! I guess that's kind of the follow up to PPP... practice to learn the techniques you love, and then play to expand on them!
