Does anyone know if there is much/any difference between DH Luna 2 and DH Luna 3
(except that there doesn't appear to be any more Luna 2 for sale anywhere)?
Thanks

My experience says they're both as bad as each other but maybe I should give them another try :P

Please do, Kaz.
I can't get anything whatsoever with DH Clio, but I can with Luna 2.
The bead on the left below was my first attempt with it. I have used it since and it makes very pretty colours:

I love luna, but I prefer Luna 2 to be fair! You can get it from Double Helix at a good rate!

Luna 2 is my second favourite striker - never tried Luna 3 - which Luna is that in your nuggets Trudi?
Thanks for that info, Trudi.
I've just ordered half a pound from DH at half price

Ooh! That sounds interesting! ;D
Ah, I'm afraid that one is a custom pull, might do something similar later on though :-*
I like Luna as well (it's Luna 2.1 that I have).
The postage is $11.25 (or $11.75)
For £20 I get half a pound of Luna and the postage.
Good deal, eh?

(I will send you some rods when it arrives, Trudi..in thanks for the info :) )
Glad to share the info with you, and will happily swap for a couple of rods x x

No need for a swap..you helped me out and I'm grateful.
Soon as it arrives I'll ask you for your addy, Trudi :)

My Goodness!
Email tells me that the Luna has been despatched.
Fast work!
How long does it usually take to get here, Trudi?
Linda x
I guess one to two weeks x
Wow! That was fast!
Full and top marks to Double Helix then.
Luna 2 ordered on 11th April and received today, 23rd April.
Trudi, message me your address and I'll send out your pressie :)

That's great service! I found the same when I ordered from them I also got some Gaia frit as a thank you . Which was very much appreciated .good postage rate as well
:) that does sound good - did you have to pay a lot in customs charges though? I have never ordered from US but would like to order a few small items like murrini, just not sure about the customs.
No Customs charge at all.
It was below the £18.
The glass was on offer $10 per 1/4lb so I had half a pound.
The P&P was $11.25 (or $11.75) can't remember off hand, so in Sterling, the whole deal was £20 incl P&P

Ah, thank you, that was an excellent price then. I didn't know about the £18 bit, off to do a bit of research! :)

Just to let You know that the customs limit was lowered to £15 X
And a little warning - I got charged because my postage pushed the cost over the limit once. It wasn't a glass order - annoying and a bit cheeky I thought.

Blimey - I always thought that postage wasn't included in the total for customs purposes. That seems a bit naughty.
Thanks, Trudi. I had forgotten that.
I am still under the impression that the P&P isn't included in the estimating Custom charges though.
Don't they estimate it on the cost of the goods written on the green form?
Linda x
I think if your purchase value is over they include the postage costs to work out the tax ... but don't quote me on it
At flame off I was told that the labelled Luna 2 was actually mislabeled luna3......just to confuse ....
