Title: Beadmaking 104 Glass?
Post by: helbels on October 16, 2010, 10:00:50 PM

I came across a make of glass called "Beadmaking 104 glass" online here: http://artistryinglass.on.ca/store/catalog/BEADMAKING_104_GLASS_page_1_c_379.html

I am not intending to order, but was rather intrigued by it as I've never heard of it before. Has anyone used it? Some of the colours seem rather expensive - is it some kind of miracle glass? :o

I think these are Kugler aren't they?

Yeah, pretty sure it's Kugler; there's a rod called Bahia Blue there, which fits.

Emma still has some of this for sale and a lot cheaper.

Oh yes it's lovely but sometimes some compatibility issues with standard 104. Great base for silver glass thought especially those neutral/brown colours.

If I remember rightly its the ASK range which Arrow Springs (AS) ditched because of the compatibility and consistency issues but Kugker (K) continued. Beautiful glass if a bit frustrating at times.

Still had one or two compatibility issues for me but I love this glass.
