Hey J2! Thanks for the kind words about our glass. Dalai you would have trouble with on a Hot Head, but you should be able to get something out of Tibet? That one doesn't require deep heat to get color. Do try reducing that Zeus over a dark color, and THEN striking the reduction haze until it gets more opaque. Sarah Hornik has gotten great results from Zeus on a hothead this way. For some batches, you'll need to cover the holes, but people tell me that with other batches you can get that light redux just from working it low in the HH flame. if it is still not looking as strong as you would like, try putting a dot of clear on it. That bead in my avatar, BTW, is Zeus on the sides, Tibet in the middle.
