Post by: Kimster on August 17, 2012, 02:33:49 PM
OOhh they've just arrived, dying to have a play about, any advice? Would the annealing prog still be the same as for other 104? Any guidance welcome! :)

Hi  - if they're coe 104 then yes. Make sure you keep the coated side out of the flame!

Have fun.

Mine are in itsy bitsy pieces  :-[ can i just put little bits on with tweezers? I have a few bits which are a little longer I can use like stringer, but it won't go far...

You can put little bits on, but heat the glassy side first if you can work out which it is and then turn them over and drop them on heated side up.

I've never tried the noodles as I was concerned that they weren't fire polished ... might have ti give them a go!
