bullseye and HH?

[Chelly77]

Hi Guys,

After the weekends buying banaza I am having a play with all my lovely new glass.  One colour a white bullseye however goes black when I use my HH,  am I not able to use this colour with my HH?

not sure actually i am thinking it may take longer to melt but not sure about the white going black. That said most of my notes so far on Bullseye seem to show that prefered flame is neutral to oxidising!! Maybe thats the problem I don't really know though!!! Hopefully someone will be along shortly to help out!

Have you asked Sean at Off Mandrel?  He might know....

Hi Chelly,

I have noticed it burns/scums/overheats rather easily on my dual fuel torch when I do tiny things like eyes on my beads.  So I suppose it may be prone to it on a HH, it having a muckier more reducing flame.  I don't know if it's worth trying to work it cooler, but it would probably take an age to melt!!

Sorry - I'm not much help, but as Mand says, Sean might know.

If it is a white colour that is slightly creamy, it could be nougat or French Vanilla, both of which (I think) might reduce quite easily. Having said that, I used to use these without problems on my HH when I had it, could be worth working a bit further out - or being careful what colours you put it with? I think both can react with some other colours, partic. the pinks...

^^^ Wot She Said...
Can you tell me which white it is? I'll have a play when I get a mo', and report back.

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I've only so far heated the glass I havent tried to make a bead yet as I was put off by the end going black\brown.

The lable on the glass says 0013 opaque white

Like Helen, I've had the standard Bullseye white blacken using my Minor Burner, but I find that this residue burns off after a while. I clean my torch head before each time I use it, so I'd agree with what others have said that this is probably caused by a more reducing flame.
