Title: CIM Trade Winds - possible compatibility issues
Post by: helbels on October 18, 2013, 06:00:03 PM
Hi All

I just wanted to warn anyone who bought CIM Trade Winds that they might want to go slow with it until checking compatibility.

I made some simple nuggets using three transparent glasses in a single bead:  Effetre Grass Green, Effetre Light Turquoise and CIM Trade Winds....   and compatibility cracks have now formed in 3 out of the 7.  

Very much doubt it's the Effetre, as both are tried and tested, and I haven't bought a new batch of either Effetre colour recently.  ::)

Just letting people know to tread cautiously with this glass.
