Default Old (bad) Lauscha - help!

I ahve some old bad Lauscha and some good old Lauscha. Looks like the 2 are mixed up and I don't finds out until encased beads crack. I can test in freezer but I need something pro-active.

Pull test doesn't seem to work. the coe must just be a bit off.

question - anybody find/know a way to segregate the bad from the good??

I have NO idea how you could tell it apart. It looks exactly the same, melts the same, so... really wish I could help but I don't think anyone is going to have the answer to this.

If it were me? I'd order more and either play with that for ideas, etc., knowing not to trust the beads or just pitch it.

Sorry!

I have close to 6 pounds of it. I'm not sure I need that many puntys.

But I guess tossing it is better than losing a nice big bead. But it's very sad somehow. Maybe I should have a little funeral for it..???

when you look at the ends of the rods do they look the same? or are the color of clear slightly different? one more green or more blue than the other?

shot... sometimes the slight difference informulation will make them look slightly difference when you look at the ends of the rods....was hoping that would be a way you could tell...you can tell different brands of boro clear from the end cuts thats way they are different colors when you look at the ends.
