pinks not compatible?
I made a bunch of beads with a base of effetre clear and my various pinks. Bubble Gum, Reichenbach 104 Raspberry, Gelly's Sty and a bit of white.
They all have tons of compatibility cracks.
I am really annoyed. Any ideas on which pink is the culprit?

I haven't had any issues with bubble gum or Gelly's Sty encased in clear but have had cracking encasing Reichenbach 104 Raspberry.

You could do a stringer compatibility test between the 5 colors you used...
Bubble Gum + Raspberry
Bubble Gum + Gelly's Sty
Bubble Gum + White
Bubble Gum + clear
Raspberry + Gelly's Sty
Raspberry + White
Raspberry + clear
Gelly's Sty + White
Gelly's Sty + clear
White + clear

I havehad cracking issues with transparent pink quartz and Rubino together. I did a dot pattern and it literally separated in a figure 8 pattern. Coolest crack ever, sad that the bead didn't make it. I also did a OY/black/raspberry twistie and encased it with the same quartz pink and it was so incomparable that it literally shelled off the base color after splitting in half. You would have thought I made a hollow bead. I was going to blame the twistie, but then made the Rubino combo, and had to blame the pink transparent. Still skeptical, but pinks... Ugh!
Ps never had any issue with the opal raspberry cracking. Some detrification that's all.

Actually, I haven't had problems with Riech Raspberry, but Gelly Sty encased major cracking, unless I mixed it with clear before hand, also another fickle pink that doesn't like to be encased is CIM Cranberry, it cracks every time for me.

I have never had compatibility issues with any of the Reichenbach 104 colors, which is pretty amazing but also as it should be.

I've had issues with Gelly Sty with rubino over it. Such a pity as they are gorgeous together.

Gelly's sty has been problematic for me with encasing. I think that one needs to anneal a bit higher to.. 980F?

So maybe it is the Gelly's? Lame. I finally find a pallet of pinks I don't burn, and they don't play well for me. LOL
