purple rubino trouble
Hi! I got a kiln a month or so ago, and I have figured out that if I do any more than a THIN layer of Effetre Rubino Oro it turns purplish instead of staying pink. Does anyone else have this problem? Can I fix it?

I would think a thin layer lets more light through the Rubino . A thick layer blocks some of the light

That has happened to me. My theory (no proof to back it up yet  is that my kiln was too hot and it happened in the kiln. I pulled a rubino bead out (thick layer over white) and thought . . . hey, i didn't work with edp this session, why do I have a purple bead?

the vetro is darker and more on the purple side than moretti (IMHO). but it depends on the batch too.

I got all excited when I read the title of this thread.
I thought, OH! Purple rubino!! Who makes it and where can I buy it? lol
I thought it was a new glass color.

Which rubino are you using? I'd like to see a pic of what you're talking about if you have one.
I agree with Jaci about the vetrofond rubino.
I bought some vetrofond dark rubino a while back and it definitely has a more purple cast to it.
The rose on this bead is that rubino over white, not quite what I expected.

What temp do you have your kiln set at? Some of us might want to use the effect?

What temp are you running your kiln at, Mariak? I know a lot of people will wait and make thier rubino beads last so they don't sit in the kiln too long. If you want to know EVERYTHING about rubino, head over to Kandice's site.

I have never had this trouble until today. I used effetre rubio over white vetro and it turned more purplish than the pink. Then I used it (rubio) over effetre white and it was pink again. Reason: the vetro white is not as dense as the effetre. This was causing it to appear more purplish and more translucent than over a more dense white.

Kandice,
What temp do you suggest for annealing the rubino? I have the same problem I made some beads with a small amount of rubino, encased with clear. I had a beautiful hot pink and then I annealed them and they came out light orchid purple. I'll try and post pictures later...but not good yet with getting good pictures of my beads. Thanks Becky

I've also noticed when I made my rubino beads first, then spend a long time on the torch with the rubino bead soaking the whole time, it tends to darken slightly more than if I'd have made it as my last bead and only annealed it for a short period before shutting down. A long torch session for me is about 6 hours. Some people may think that's a short session, though...

Thank you Kandice and everyone else who has had suggestions here. I am using Moretti 456. It comes up a pretty orchid opaque color coming out of my kiln using 960 temp, but I really want the pink that I start out with when my bead is first done. I am batch annealing, too, not sure if that would have any effect. I guess it will PPP for me.
Laurie I love those pansies!!!

Also just wanted to add that if you mix rubino with clear (or a light transparent pink or adventurine) that the clear/pink will dilute and protect the pinkness from darkening.
