Title: Goldstone Ribbons
Post by: puffin on January 24, 2011, 08:31:32 AM
Just a quickie , do not know if I have put it in the right place.

Bluestone and Goldstone does it have to be encased or can you heat it from the flame. I did some but encased just incase it burnt ???

You can leave it unencased, heat it enough to be sure it's firmly attached.

It just can't take long periods in the flame. I used to think that goldstone couldn't go in the flame and was a bit afraid of it. But it can take some heat, but too much time in the flame will burn out it's sparkle!
