new reichenbach

[mindy23]

Has anyone tried these new 104 colours yet that Martin has?  They look lovely but I was wondering if they needed any special annealing schedule?  It would be lovely if they went in on the ordinary Moretti programme but life is rarely that simple.  I have 2 different programmes on my kiln, the moretti and a Lauscha one that cools much slower, maybe that one would do.  I've been looking for a nice bright light orange for a while and this one looks perfect.

Love

I haven't tried them myself.... but as far as I know.. if it's 104 coe, it *should* anneal like moretti..... unless anyone knows any different ?? If I remember, there were a few issues with CIM, or was it ASK ??

Sorry... I'm no help whatsoever... LOL...

There are several annealing schedules for CiM depending on the colour you use, which is painful and put me off trying the tester pack I got.    The new reichenbach will be interesting.  Martin should have an idea of the annealing schedule... or maybe it's worth doing a search on LE...?

I've ordered them but I haven't yet got past the drooling over them and stroking them fondly stage. I was told to anneal them like Moretti.

I saw them on the website yesterday. They look loooooovely! I don't need any glass but since when has that stopped me?

Yeh it was the CIM with a different schedule - but that was only for 3  of their colours, cirrus, peacock and halong bay as they are the special "moonstone" glasses.

The other beads in the CIM range can be annealled alongside effetre etc I have found (though hadnt dora found difference?). Whatever, I've just been doing some testing for CIM and all except for the 3 I just mentioned were fine on my usual effetre cycle.

I didn't know this about the 3 CIM colours.
Can anyone PM me the annealingschedule for these please?

[*rowanberry*]

I just do mine as I would effetre, but anneal at 550c instead.

Hi everyone, thank you for your help. I've mailed Martin so I'll update here when I hear from him.  I never really NEED new glass but I always WANT it!

I have been thinking this and when here is this thread I´ll ask loud: Do anyone knows if the reichenbach 104 iris glass acts like raku too?

[*rowanberry*]

ooooooooh a 104 raku!?! and its cheaper than terra ;-) please someone tell me its like the other raku

I spoke to Martin today and its much easier just does its own thing easily ! Mines on the way !

my finger slipped and I just bought some  bad claire....

too excited by 104 iris orange me, and iris blue! (I so loves iris blue...)

Claire, when you say that you anneal the 3 cim colours at 550 can you put moretti in with them at that heat or do you just have to have a dedicated session using those 3 colours?
