Default help with Arancio Perfecto

Hi all - i am trying to make some scarlet/coral beads for a customer and tried last night with the Arancio Perfecto - any tips on working this effectively would be most helpful. I made three small beads on one mandrel to see how it works - one reduced to a great color, the other two, when treated the same way, did NADA.

I figured out that it likes lots of oxygen, like most reds...

Tips?
thanks!!
Deb

You have to let it cool to where you think the bead is going to crack and then reintroduce the bead into the back of the flame to strike it. It took a long time to get the orange color the time I tried it. Good luck.
