Title: Not really a glass question, but...

Is a Bavarian Button press the same as a Straight Sided Lentil? I have a button press - which I love - but everyone seems to recommend the SS lentils. Don't want to end up with two that are basically the same!

It can get a bit confusing! Some people use 'button' interchangeable with 'SSL', for some, buttons are what 'coins' are (i.e. straight sides, completely flat top. If I were you, I'd look at the photos of beads made with the press, and see whether you like them :)

Hmmm. Thanks! My button press has a rounded top...
