Sky Blue
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent sky blue from turning silver? Does it help to encase it?

You need more oxygen or turn down the gas.

also try to use a brass marver graphite does not like to play well with that or Dark Turq it seems to bring the silver color to surface when I reheat. Same flame tip as above though.

If you aren't set on 104 coe glass, try the Bullseye or Uroboros light blues. They seem to stay truer.

Put your finished beads in toilet bowl cleaner for about 5-10 minutes. I use the cheapest possible. I keep a small container next to my sink so I reuse it over and over.
I heard that Coke works, too, but that is too valuable to a caffeine addict like me.
