Glass you love / Glass you hate

[Sarah]

I can't believe I missed out Terra nova 2  - I love the stuff!

Trudi - leaky pen just bubbles on me as does pulsar so that can be added to my hate list too!

When I first tried Leaky Pen it pitted like mad - I left it for a few months then tried it again (same rod) and it behaved!!! Go figure! Perhaps it was weather conditions, flame settings - not sure. But give it another go just to see - you never know! Colette had the same issue too!

Perhaps it matures like wine? I'll give it a go again over the weekend - it looks like it should be a pretty colour

If any of you want rid of your TAG jelly opal can you PM me??

[Redhotsal]

  I wonder if the TAG Jelly Opal is Sal's "sperm coloured glass" - sounds like it could be!

Um no. The suspect glass is very old - it may not even be glass....

[Kaz]

What, you mean it may actually be........  Like petrified (Like Fordite ) OMG did someone get very excited by the glass

[Redhotsal]

Heh - Fordite! Issat the same as Dagenham Agate? 
No, not excited by the glass(!) (eurgh). In my experience - it's mostly women that get excited by all those, um, rods of glass. Men seem to prefer marbles.....
I did wonder that the glass might be an extremely long bundles of glue sticks for a while, but it's probably something quite prosaic as Effetre. Might be P+T. 'Orrible glass whatever it is.

[Trudi]

Omg I need to close my eyes!!!!

This thread really has been an eye opener!! Lots of good hints and tips with dome smut for good measure!!!

[Redhotsal]

Dome Smut?? Don't know where your twisted mind is heading here, Trudes. I only use mine for marble making! 
Hehe! That's it - I'm off to bed. 

[sea-thistle]

I also like cranberry
rubino oro
green tea

I agree Effetre 004 is the pits!

It was late Sal and I was on the I touch - what can I say - you're leading me astray!

[jammie]
