Default Comparing clears

As an aside, I've used some Uroborous 104 as a clear base for blown beads.
Yeah, no.
Now the cracking may not be it's fault, but I think it's possible.
Has anyone else used it for cores or blowing?

It is cold in the workspace and the heffalump I was using was shocky, so those may factor in. The heffalump rods felt weird. I found an rod from an older batch that seemed fine.

Thoughts?
