Title: CIM Unique Sepia
Post by: helbels on September 23, 2010, 07:42:12 PM
Hi all,

I tried this for the first time tonight (just a quick test bead) and it was bubbling and boiling like a good un - is it just me?  Or has anyone else found this?

it can bubble a little - I just nip the ends off and when I go to heat the glass leave the very edge of it just outside the flame - that should help!

I agree with Trudi - only the end bubbled initially

Mine went like a volcano  :o when melting but I loved what came out of my kiln the next day. I have fallen in love with this colour so much , that the first bracelet I made I decided to keep as I loved the finish that much. Plus I have had 2 orders for more of that same colour .  :o :o

So I have bought sepia to try as well I hope I like the results in that colour
