I have another observation to add. On my torch anyway (mini CC) it likes a little extra oxy.

Some people are like a Slinky... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

There is nothing worst than spending an hour on a bead and then encase it and have bubbles or scum ruin it. My torch time is so limited that having AMAZING clear with no worries that the last step of my bead will go bad is soooooo worth the money!!

That's exactly how I feel Trudy. It's usually during the final step, like putting a big dot of clear over a murrini that I get the scum. If I do notice it, it's almost impossible to pick the scummy dot off without ruining the murrini. Doesn't make me any happier when I find the scum the next morning after I take the bead out of the kiln. It's just a big waste of my time, so I would rather pay extra for a good clear so I don't have to worry about it.

Any other brand of clear on my table will be used to fill up the center of big beads that get covered with something else. I won't use anything else but DH unless it's boro (which happens)

Is it just me or does the Zephyr even make normal colors appear brighter? I find that my HH can dull some colors but the Zephyr brings them back to their original brightness when encased.
Like the red is just Effetre Red, which can get kinda dark but it looks so bright here:

Amber, those colors are intense! I don't think it's just you. I don't have any of this glass yet, but I think I may have to get some eventually.

Now that you all have tested the glass, I think it's about time for the results to be determined and the product to be marketed. However, I can understand a waiting period to make sure that there aren't going to be any cracking issues with this glass. I'd hate to see that happen.

I like the way it keeps the "under-color" from not giving a green cast to it also. It's a great clear!! I'll show some photos when my camera is fixed. Bwwwwaaaaah.......

You girls are cracking me up...all I see is a scene from the movies where there are all these women packed waiting at the door for the department store's big sale wanting in! I feel sorry for the guy who has to open that door! Is there room for one more?

LOL. I'm sure this is the reason they don't have a store that we can go visit. There would be a mob of us camping outside the door by now.

Oh my Lynn - but they DO have (kind of) a store that you can go visit.
You just need to tell them in advance!
I've been last year with a couple of other lampworkers and we had a blast. It was a total frenzy and I was in glass heaven!!!

Lynn, if they did..."road trip" and I'd be in my car heading west! Got another response from our "favorite bidder"...I'll pm you. Yikes!
Judith...shhh, we didn't hear that!

You know, as soon as I posted that and walked away, I thought "maybe they do have a store and I just don't know about it." I'm always the last to know. Next time there's a group going down there, I would love to go!
