To tell you the truth, when I first started using Bullseye (for making beads), I never even thought about any other use of that glass. I had never heard of fusing. It was a wonder to actually get real pinks and purples from glass rods. I am hoarding a big stash of Bullseye. Beads made from Bullseye were a really big deal. Every few weeks (months?) they would debut new colors. There was mad scramble to order it. People would lurk, stalking the site. I used to drive to Portland just to buy the new stuff. Many times, there was not enough to meet the demand. Remember that you old dogs? It was so much fun.
As for it being brittle or stiff, you just got used to slight changes in the way you worked the glass. It was not a problem.
