Sandstone reducing.

[Alison G]

I can get sandstone to reduce and it becomes a gorgeous gold, trouble is it only seems to reduce around the bead holes. Any ideas why?

[Lush!]

You is just showing off cos you got some and we haven't 

[sarah t]

i have been looking for some too ...we will have to hold her to ransome 

[Alison G]

I offered some to you Mrs Julie!

Sarah, I owe you some after you and Sam rescued me from those incompetents  LOL

[sarah t]

you hang on to it girl and make something yummy with it ...but if you want to swop a rod let me know what you would like and i will see you at FO 

i dont think they were too useless they got you in which was the important bit  ..... but we were on the vimto not the champagne 

as to why you only get gold round your hole no idea .....

I just found a rod in my stash ... so what does it look like once cooked ?? It looks like a rod of ivory to me ...

[Les]

Aahh ... isn't that what Julie was testing with helios just recently ?? OOOOooo

[sarah t]

yep ....and now it has disapeared from all sites selling .....that blinkin not so secret tester

I taped a rod of ivory and opal yellow together, came out the same colour as sandstone.

[Lush!]

yep ....and now it has disapeared from all sites selling .....that blinkin not so secret tester 

I haven't got any either

Could be that whatever metal is being reduced is vaporised by the flame. Around the beadholes the mandrel is absorbing some of the heat and the glass is our of the direct flame.
