What's your glass from hell??

Having just spent about 30 minutes trying to coax a nice bead from CIM Sepia, and failing miserably through it's bubbly, scummy hideousness, it got me thinking about which glass you hate/dislike?

It might be useful to have a glassy list to avoid like the plague!

Silver brown........

(I hate it so much I renamed it sh**e brown)

Effetre turquoise... I always boil it

ScarletLeonard · February 20, 2011, 01:17:20 PM

Ohh sepia is a beautiful colour, never did that for me. (unfortunately I did mess up the bead in other ways) and now I need more
I've not had a very good relationship with iris orange or magic. But then again I don't think I was 'talking' to it right. Not tried since.

It's the Unique Sepia actually - I should have said. Perhaps the normal Sepia is nicer!!

No I have some Sepia and found it boiled very easily, had to work right out in the flame. Not as bad as pulsar which I just gave up on.

helbels · February 20, 2011, 01:32:41 PM

I had it right out in the tip and it was still fizzing away... Pulsar is similar, but thats such a gorgeous colour that it's worth perservering with!

That is just a nasty boily glass, never had much luck with it.
Mine is Pulsar, love the colour but it spits, pits and boils for me.

I find most cim transparents don't like me, they bubble spit and pit, and its a shame because they have lots of lovely transparent colours but i have stopped buying them because they all seem to do the same thing

Daffodil yellow - every time I've tried it, I end up holding a short with a load of frit over the desk

And annealing it doesn't seem to help. Oh, and flipping Pistachio!
