Clockwork CIM

[BeadyEm]

Hi,

I have recently purchased some Clockwork CIM but I am having problems getting the colour to come out right.  I managed it once on my HH but I have now upgraded to a Bobcat and am  having a few teething problems.  Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong?  It usually comes out mostly clear with an orangy-red core.

Thanks

Emma

its a striker, make your bead and it will be mostly clear, let it cool a bit then waft it through the top of the flame, the orange will appear.

Thanks!  Had another go this morning and now have two fab orange beads!

Glad it worked for you.

Ah, didnt realise this either, mine went a sort of swrirly opal orange, quite nice, I must have part struck it.

You can get some nice results by inadvertently part striking red & oranges - useful when I'm a Fyrebird
