Working with Orange Rods C104

[gatorgirl]

I am new to lampworking and everytime I work with the C104 orange glass it always seems to turn red. What am I doing wrong. Am I getting the glass too hot...or not hot enough? I am looking for a "true" orange color...not pumpkin orange...but a redish orange (my Florida Gator colors). Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!!!!

Sounds like you just don't have the right color of glass.

Hi gatorgirl.
I was making beads for a "gatorgirl" and they kept having the same thing happen. She had to send me back a bunch cause they didn't match what she needed. SO, I had her send me one of her beads and was able to get a match using bullseye orange.
that was the only true, even color match I could get.
hope this helps ya,
Sue
