Reichenbach compatibility

[Pat from Canvey]

I've been making some very large beads recently. The last batch, some had the base bead as white Reichenbach as Martin didn't have effetre white on his stall at the last bead fair. Four beads which have white as a base with various effetre colours over, have all developed cracks. All the others with effetre bases and a variety of effetre colours as decoration are fine. I can only think that the amount of the Reichenbach compared to Effetre glass has tipped the balance of compatibility. These cracks are not thermal but there are enamels abutting all the bases. Any thoughts anyone? Picture to follow.

I had that with a batch of Reichenbach white a while back. I just stopped using it as it definitely wasn't 104 compatible.

Same here - I encased with rubino for roses and they all crazed.
My feeling is that 104 and 94 have got mixed up somehow at the factory?

Yep.. I had the same problem... had to stop using it.  Just the white that was the issue
