Title: Cool colours.....are they 'cool' ????
Post by: Corinne Lacy on June 04, 2011, 11:36:23 AM
Why are the 'Cool Colours' called this? Is there a 'special' way of melting them? I have a small amount but don't want to waste the glass......  :-\ 
I tried Marine wave but all I got was tiny bubbles in the bead...certainly no waves.....presume I should have melted and pulled the end of the rod off before I made a bead  :(
I think sarah Hornik believed them to be 'odd' lots........does anyone know more???
Thanks in advance  Corinne.

Nah, I just melt them as normal and they've come out fine so far!

I don't think they're meant to do anything especially cool, some of them are marbled so you get that effect in the bead.

I've only tried fossil and green tea, melts and behaves normally, looks similar to the rods when its done.
