Default Ornelas 104?

I'm thinking of buying some Czech Ornelas 104 glass.
Anyone know firsthand if it's compatible with other brands of 104?

Some is, some isn't. Some of it doesn't even play nice with itself.

Small amounts usually are OK, but test first.

There are a few Ornela colors that are so pretty it is worth finding ways to use them.

I have been disappointed a number of times when I've gone to use Czech glass in dots over white with other colored dots and ONLY the Czech glass dots had incompatibility cracks.

Personally, I only use it on one color beads, spacers and hollows. The colors are just beautiful to NOT use it. I mean, denim, dark smoky topaz?? no one makes anything close.

It does play nice with other brand tranparents in my tri-color hollows, doesn't ever crack. It's weird.

Here is a portion of an email that I received

"We produce two lines of glass:
Lead (composite) rods with COE 96
Leadfree rods with COE 112
We donīt test the compatibility with Italian glass.
Are you a beadmaker?
On what quantities are you interested?

With best regards
