Hello! I am new to this game and am playing with different types of glass and have made some bullseye beads and decorated with dichroic.....Can I pop these into my bead cube and use the same program for annealing as I do for my other soft glass beads (the preset programme with an annealing temp of 520) or do I have to do something different? I have read different opinions and would appreciate some advice.....Thank you x

i use the same and it's been fine for me!
BTW - I take it that dichroic was bullseye!
Hi Trudi, A million thanks for that I was getting very confused ???. Yep the dichroic was bullseye....more by luck than judgement as it was only whilst I was browsing glass suppliers that I realised there was a difference, ho hum!
I am popping them in the kiln tonight and keeping my fingers crossed....thanks again for responding so quickly

No problem - - meant to add that dichroic is only a coating - it depends what glass it's on!!
And just so you know bullseye uses the same annealing schedule as 104!
;) Hey Trudi, they survived and I am really chuffed with them thank you for the advice x
Hope that you didn't hold your breath the whole time :D :D :D
Glad that it helped - that's why we're all here!
