Does anyone have any Dichroic 104 they want to sell? I have looked on Warm Glass and they only have the ones for Bullseye.
Christina had them at FO .. did you not see them. Also, I'm sure tuffnells had some ..... just sayin! ;)
I wasn't looking for them then ::) Don't you just kick yourself, when you forget to look for something?
yup!

Christina sold out of the strips by about 11.00am she told me! but she was taking names and payments , and offering free postage. She said she would get some sent out shortly. So maybe if you contact her she could send some to you as well. I think it was about £9.75 for one lot
I think I will place an order with Christina, and just wanted to ask if anyone knows how much you get if you order the standard Dichro 104. It comes in 14 grams, is this in strips or just a sheet that you cut?
It's Dichroic glass encased in Reichenbach clear glass, looks like stringer! This is what she showed me. She had kept some I think to show people what they looked like :)
You could try the thin dichroic which is on the copper sheet from warm glass, I have been using it recently and had some very nice results.
i thought the dichro on copper sheet was pants unless you wanted to make a bead that looked like it had siver foil shards in it ,have only ever had success with the rods (got mine from sean @off mandrel) but use very sparingly
if its a bit of sparkle you are looking for the goldstone ribbons are good (not so impressed with the blue ones ) and pixie dust comes in lots of colours
Thanks everyone :) I looked at Christina's and was about to place my order, but did not go through with it after all the add ons that bumped up the cost. I have bought of ebay and have some coming from America. It is 1/4 lb 104 Morretti and is £14 so is just under the customs radar :) :)
I got some dichroic ribbons from Tuffnells at FO which were incased and 104.........
ah I'd like some too! I need to do some research but wil post here when I find out something.
I'd prefer to buy a sheet and deal with it that way. I have stacks of Bullseye compatible but want to start putting it in my 104 beads.
My Dichro arrived today from America, and was free from any charges, I will use harringtons again :)
wow that was quick!!
I only ordered it on the evening of the 16th and it was shipped on the 17th and arrived today the 23rd.
Jenni have you tried the ribbons from Tuffnells? i looked at them and now regret not buying any :(

Who, where and how please? I've never heard of them.
Thank you
I've had a quick look and found them.
I can't see who made the coating, I'm after CBS = Coatings by Sandberg, as previous experience has shown other stuff burns out easily.
I think I may try some strips from Christina.
CBS is the best! :)
I haven't had chance to use it yet but I received 122grams rather than the 113grams and the label says Dichromagic from Austin Thin Films
I hope it is going to be OK. I goggled there website and it advised for lampworking to use the dichro coated side out ::) I will have a go at it this way and see what happens.
it really depends which colour you have. some are OK.
I had some Austin stuff and it was purple/yellow, just went to ash every time.
probably OK for fusing.
