I'm pretty sure that most lampworkers are looking for that simple thing that seems impossible to find. Like a good, well priced clear. And how about an intense, real black that doesn't bleed?
Well, I don't have the answer on the clear, but I have found my perfect black!
I have found that even hairthin stringers of this black are black and when heated like crazy, it doesn't fade or bleed. And the winner is...
REICHENBACH DEEP BLACK 9203
Really, really worth the try! I have quite some beads waiting to be photographed with stringerwork with this color. As soon as I have some pics, I will post them.
Good luck and have fun with it, be sure to post your results pleazzzz
