reichenbach soft crystal is good and melts easily on hotheads so Martin says, and he should know!

I have about 3 rods left, was told to try vetro but i get on well with 006 so don't really want to change.

I'm betting Sue (awrylemming) is still hoarding it all.

I was very generous with my 006 I'll have you know! I've sent all my spare to Rachel now, and although I have some, t'aint loads any more ... I have loads of vetro too, but hate it with a passion. I only use it as punty. Apparently Reichenbach is good?

yes you were

lovely lady.

Reich does melt very nicely on a hot head (remembering the days when I just had sample packs and on Mapp trying to melt effetre clear more with the power of my mind than the torch.) But the reich went smoothly, although other than the melting I didn't get on with it.

I got Vetro from Martin a few weeks ago and it is lovely! As long as you clean the rods really well before use it is gorgeous. When I say clean really well I mean at least triple armpit swipes

My Vetro clear just scums and it's very clean, I used glass cleaner! I've got about 1/4kg left of crystal clear because I tend to buy it in kilos when Martin has it as I just can't cope with running out! Have a fairly large stash of aether which I might start using on silver glass for now.

Yes, Reichenbach is good, but it turns my Triton greeny - or is it just me??

Kalorlo · June 08, 2011, 10:21:00 AM

That's odd - Reichenbach's one that doesn't usually tinge things yellow.

When I saw Martin at Dorking Bead Fair at the weekend he said it might be five or six weeks!!!

And when I spoke to Teresa on the phone about 3 weeks ago she said it would arrive in 2 - 3 weeks !

Oh big fat bloomin' PANTS! I've just checked my 006 as I used quite bit recently, and I'm getting dangerously low. Let's hope Effetre send more very soon, i.e. sooner than 6 weeks! $:-\$

chipperpottery · June 09, 2011, 09:58:03 AM

I must check my stock.

Eek it's 21 Euro for postage from Glassworks France! I don't think I can justify that at the moment.

My 006 plus other glass arrived yesterday. A few of us clubbed an order together and ordered from Frantz, it was very quick and at least I have got it now. It is worth doing

Probably worth just going to frantz! I'm thinking of doing another bulk order in July when I'm back from holiday.
