I'm partial to Fusion. It seems to get along with the climate here for everything. Clean up is hella easy too, most times I just run the mandrel through (underwater of course) and it's clean. Chad making beads? What?!?

I have always used "Sludge" from Arrow Springs. I also like their mandrels too, they hold up longer than others I have used.
Lewis Wilson uses it too, it holds up to lots of heat.

Fusion works best for us with boro, been using it for over 10 years with no complaints.

And that reminds me that I did a little play with my boro shorts, trying to figure it out a bit. When I took them off the mandrels I tossed them in my water bowl to soak until I cleaned them the next day, and there was nothing to clean! Is this normal? My 104 stuff still had the release in them.
