Hi, just wondering whether anyone can recommend a silver glass which works well on a hothead?  (I guess this may have been discussed before but I can't find it!)
Thanks,

Triton, Aurae, Psyche are all fantastic on a Hothead - you can't really go wrong with any of them.

 :) Thanks Helen, I thought you might know! I'll try a rod of each of those. Funds are low and I didn't want to splash out on something that would just end up as murky brown!

I actually think of all those 3 work BETTER on a Hothead than on a Duel Fuel - Psyche in particular :-)

Ooh might try them too.  So far silver brown, multicolour, chelcedony have failed to do anything for me other than poo on a stick!  I'm determined that one day something will pop colours and surprise me.  That or I need to find a use for poo brown beads :(

Whoi sells them by the single rod?  Any clues?

OK Jill, are you going first or shall I? If you haven't tried any of the others I've listed come on over to Clevedon and I'll let you have some of mine - I owe you coffee (and will get my act together as soon as my fairs finish for this year, bit manic at the mo).  Sue

I'll start with the other three and see how I get on.  I'm too easily tempted otherwise.

I can definitely vouch for psyche on the hot head, especially when you encase it too, you can get a really good range of colours: blues, turquoise, purple, greens.  Best glass I own!

Thanks everyone for the very helpful replies.

(Blue Box Sue...I'll pm you!)

On my hothead I have found the best is Triton, then Ekho, and then Aurae. Some of the others sometimes give a good result, other times they dont!
I havent tried my 1 rod of Psyche yet so cant advise on that one :)
