Title: Clockwork CIM
Post by: BeadyEm on April 20, 2010, 08:42:47 PM

Hi,

I have recently purchased some Clockwork CIM but I am having problems getting the colour to come out right. I managed it once on my HH but I have now upgraded to a Bobcat and am having a few teething problems. Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong? It usually comes out mostly clear with an orangy-red core.

Thanks

Emma

its a striker, make your bead and it will be mostly clear, let it cool a bit then waft it through the top of the flame, the orange will appear.

You can get some nice results by inadvertently part striking red & oranges - useful when I'm a Fyrebird ;D
