but all the glass would have to be so short - I sometimes don't even cut the thinner rods!

ooh pringles...i like your thinking on that one Sam!  ;)

My workspace is still quite tidy...am I anal? After every second or third session I sweep off my work surface....

i do have a very attractive burn on my arm though  ;D I think effetre white hates me...it's the only one that shocks all over the place!

I was going to say the same Kim - my desk is littered with centimetre chunks of white glass

Is it standard white?  I've never had a problem with it being shocky at all.  Anise white on the other hand is VERY shocky - its yellowish when melted and often has a hole running through the rod. Standard white is clear when melted and tends to be much more runny and harder to manage.

oooo i had a whole rod of white that shocked everytime it went near the flame

Dragonfire Glass

mine is soft white & has a yellowish tinge when melted.
the first stuff I had, had a reddish tinge, but I prefer the other, even if it comes off in chunks!

The yellow is anise white - I like it better too.  I'm not sure what the red one was though...anyone know...? ???

I use tons of white.
Anise is very shocky, but normal white can be too, I find though that it normally just spits, rather than chunks falling off like your normal shocky glasses.

'I love it when it comes off in big chunks'........Nighty Night.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

ooh I don't know...I assumed it was standard white...although I guess it could be Anise as it is yellowish when melted..haven't noticed a hole down the middle though...will have a look this afternoon :)

I already had some from various sources Billie, as my hubby had some bits & pieces lying around the farm, but I bought 10 x2m lengths from B & Q last week. Then my Dad was in Focus on Monday, & bought me another 2m length for a wee pressie! (I didn't have the heart to tell him they're cheaper in B & Q  :-\)
I've probably used about 25m worth in total so far, more than likely I'm gonna need more soon (you know how it is with glass;) ) :D
