Can anyone suggest a nice 'caramel' coloured opaque 104 glass please; something like CIM Ginger before you melt it and it goes all pale! Preferably something that either Martin or Sean stock?  I have looked but can't seem to find such a thing??

The new CIM Adobe is quite caramelly.

Lauscha caramello... although it can produce a lovely blushed tinge if you play with it  ;D

Caramello would get my vote to. It was one of my fav colours before I went to the dark side

there is a riechenbach caramel too  ;)

Oh no, I'm torn now!!
Think I have to be brave and make a decision, and Adobe may just have won.  (Can't see the Lauscha in stock) Thanks for all the recommendations though.

Isn't it a pain when you can 'see' a colour in your mind, then you need to find who actually makes it? LOL

The does what it does in the rod type caramel is the riechenbach.

I changed my mind  ;D Reichenbach it is. Have paid so can't change it again!

its a lovely colour and goes all shiny too  :)

Love the Reichenbach. It reacts with ivory too, so you can get some nice effects :)

Reich Caramel goes some lovely shades of pink too! :o

flash it in a reducing flame and you get lovely copper  ;)
good choice  :)

CiM ginger does actually go more or less rod colour if you work it long enough - I know because I was making a little sculptural face and kept melting bits back in by accident  ::)

It's a bit pinker than caramel though (and I second that Reichenbach caramel is very nice!)

oooh, it's here ;D ;D ;D

It's wrong to want to lick glass, right ? ;) ;D
