Whats Vetrofond and what can i use it with

helbels · February 16, 2011, 07:03:43 PM

It's just another make of glass, and you can use it with Effetre, Double Helix and Reichenbach, and anything else that's 104 COE.

Can I ...... OH NO ....... my finger gonna be slipping again......... if I can use with 104

Veebee · February 16, 2011, 07:11:24 PM

It can be a bit incompatible, especially the odd lots. It is 104, I personally tend to use it on it's own just in case. Some of the odds are just beautiful

A lot of the standard Vetrofond colours are interchangeable with Effetre, just tend to be slightly cheaper. Some of them are different though - the ivories are less reactive and the black isn't purple. The odds are fun

I use vetrofond a lot. I find the transparents much nicer to use than the effetre transparents.

And the odd lots are amazing once you've tamed them.

Vetro black is lovely. The other vetros especially the transparents are good value. Love the vetro odds and the only compatibility issue I have had has been occasionally with SIS and silver wire. I wish there was more of it around!

I love the vetrofond light transparents especially, and I wish we had a full-range trader, too!

I liked Cosmic Storm enough to buy a proper amount of it, just found it again..............other than that, I mainly seem to have bought Lichen, Avocado, Petrified Wood, etc. I think I might need to delve into that pile today.......

I haven't used much of it, but I love vetro black and it's my only black. I was given a rod of Rhubarb which goes all "woody" in effect when it's fired, it looks amazing - I made a seashell from it, and it turned out looking wooden! Bizarre. I wish there was more Vetrofond available in the UK too. Some the specials colours look gorgeous.
