Hi folks, does anyone know where I might get some Effetre 006 clear in the UK?
Both Tuffers and Off Mandrel are out and I'm down to my last 6 rods now.
Help!!
Mandas?
Just checked my stash, don't have any left, sorry.
You could order from the states? Frantz art glass has it. Or maybe try Q at glassworks?
I have some in my glass shop too : Glassworks France (http://www.glassworksfrance.com)
Shipping is calculated automatically during checkout. :)
I'm down to 3 rods :(
I'm never keen to buy glass from overseas because of shipping costs, but needs must.....
I bought Reichenbach!
I can spare 1/2 lb PM me Rachel
Jo x
Lausha? Bit more expensive, but nice big rods- great for encasing! :)
Rachel, you're so organised - I had to run out before I realised there was a national shortage ::)
EEEK!! I think I've just noticed I'm getting a bit low! How did that happen??? :o I reckon I can work with a few different transparents while we wait for the national shortage to pass.
I'm kinda hoping that's soon .... ::)
Deanne ... I'll need to order when it's re-stocked you wanna do a joint order?
I have about 3 rods left, was told to try vetro but i get on well with 006 so don't really want to change.
I'm betting Sue (awrylemming) is still hoarding it all.
NOOOO!! I only ever order from Tuffnells when I really need to as I can't stand paying the £5 or whatever postage :P A few weeks ago I saw the normal clear I get- not the 'crystal clear'- I hate it! Have a rod from a friend and it takes FOREVER to melt! I'm still on the first batch I ever bought and I love it, it was a very cheap one I think and now there isn't any!! Don't want crystal clear, DON'T WANT CRYSTAL CLEAR!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
And I have to order anyway as I need a few s/p snake chains and some headpins so that I can FINALLY make up some sellable jewellery :P ;D x

I was very generous with my 006 I'll have you know! :P I've sent all my spare to Rachel now, and although I have some, t'aint loads any more ... I have loads of vetro too, but hate it with a passion. I only use it as punty. Apparently Reichenbach is good?
reichenbach soft crystal is good and melts easily on hotheads so Martin says, and he should know!

yes you were :) lovely lady.
Reich does melt very nicely on a hot head (remembering the days when I just had sample packs and on Mapp trying to melt effetre clear more with the power of my mind than the torch.) But the reich went smoothly, although other than the melting I didn't get on with it.

Yes please :) :)
I got Vetro from Martin a few weeks ago and it is lovely! As long as you clean the rods really well before use it is gorgeous. When I say clean really well I mean at least triple armpit swipes ;D ;D

My Vetro clear just scums and it's very clean, I used glass cleaner! I've got about 1/4kg left of crystal clear because I tend to buy it in kilos when Martin has it as I just can't cope with running out! Have a fairly large stash of aether which I might start using on silver glass for now.
Yes, Reichenbach is good, but it turns my Triton greeny - or is it just me??
That's odd - Reichenbach's one that doesn't usually tinge things yellow.
Does anyone know when 006 might be back in stock...I only have 3 rods left :(

When I saw Martin at Dorking Bead Fair at the weekend he said it might be five or six weeks!!! :o :o :o :o :o
And when I spoke to Teresa on the phone about 3 weeks ago she said it would arrive in 2 - 3 weeks !
Oh big fat bloomin' PANTS! I've just checked my 006 as I used quite bit recently, and I'm getting dangerously low. Let's hope Effetre send more very soon, i.e. sooner than 6 weeks! :-\ :P ::)
I must check my stock.
Eek it's 21 Euro for postage from Glassworks France! I don't think I can justify that at the moment. :(
My 006 plus other glass arrived yesterday. A few of us clubbed an order together and ordered from Frantz, it was very quick and at least I have got it now. It is worth doing :)

Probably worth just going to frantz! I'm thinking of doing another bulk order in July when I'm back from holiday.
I've ordered some Reichenbach Crystal for the moment to tide me over. Maybe we could order together then, or see if any one else is interested too as Ilona suggests?

I'd be up for that honey. Last time there were 5 of us abd I contacted mike and he gave us a huge discount off the order abd on the shipping. Well worth it if you want a fair bit of glass. I'll pm you after my finals finish next week abd we can work some stuff out. X
