Post by: Pixiedebs on November 26, 2008, 10:49:22 PM
Hi Everyone,

Just wondered if anyone had worked with Northstar Matisse Red Exotic??  I'm on a hot head so any advice/tips would be gratefully received. :)

Only thing I have tried with Northstar on my hothead is a tip from Tan, get it white hot then take it out of the flame and blow on it to cool it then put it back in the flame I usually get reactions this way

Tried it on my HH - only one I could get to work was Sasha's Silver - lots of blues and greens. Oh, and there's another blue, err, looks like a dark trans blue in the rod, but they only gave me metallic blues, don't know if it was supposed to do anything else!

I encesed it and got a greeny blue colour - pleasant but nothing to shout about. Haven't tried much else yet.

I've had no luck with it - it just boils as soon as it goes into the flame for me.
