Vetrofond 256 dark pink problem
Has anyone ever had trouble with beads cracking when made from this glass? I made some small beads, about 10x7mm and rolled them in a 96 frit blend. When I went to ream them out, every single bead cracked in half. Normally I'd blame that on thermal shock but I treated these beads the same as all the other ones I made and the others (made with Moretti white and a 96 frit blend, same size, didn't crack. Different blend but from the same company. They aren't annealed yet; I have them batched, which I've been doing for a couple of years with no problems. Anyway, if anyone has any info on this glass, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
