Default Help Please! R733

I bought Reichenbach R733 powder. I was hoping to get beautiful blues and purples, like here http://lutrick.blogspot.com/2011/08/...merman-99.html, but after hours and tons of glass all I got very pale pink almost white color beads. How to make this glass work? Please help!

Is it chalky looking? It may be devitrification, it looks chalky and whitish then, you have to work it even temp and don't take it in and out of the flame to much.

This is for 'EDP' but it's the same way of working, except I find it doesn't do it as easily as EDP.
