White
Hi All,
I am trying to use Glass Alchemy Snow white and am getting a lot of bubbles no matter what heat or flame I use. I even tried a really slow preheat and still got bubbles. Any advice for this white or can anyone suggest another white that is more stable?
Thanks,
John

I use boro bars white. It rakes a good beating.

I love Borostix! (Boro Bars, Boro Sticks... All the same, made by Origins Glass in GA.) China White is pretty good, too, and it's the absolute cheapest you'll find. (Of the 2, I prefer borostix but it's been a while since I've tried the China.)

I think I heard once to mix the whites when first using, mushing it together and pulling back out? and this helps keep the boiling down when using. I can't seem to find the thread, perhaps someone remembers?

Borostix bars definitely need to be mixed, but I don't think Snow White does.
