i have done many pieces with this glass..

works great as thick handles or dots on the outside....not as great as a stickstack..

NOTHING when used in stringers and heavily worked (ie retti)

ill post up pics soon

I've done a few I/O pieces with it with no compatibility problems at all. I did have to use 3mm-4mm stringers as the smallest to get them to still glow.

The longer it is worked the less glow there is and it charges best in sunlight, halogen, or incandescent light. Florescents and LED lights don't charge it as well.

made this with N3RD few days ago. we had a few cracking problems with the glow. really thick clear retti, with black lines and glow backing. it died a tragic death. have to eat it up slow. per any borostix color. other than that it was really smooth and worked great.

the glowing reversal is pretty awesome. why arn't the dots on the mouth piece glowing as strong though?

mostly due to n3rd's lacking photography skills, not so easy to photo in the dark! :p

i probably didn't charge up all of the glow areas as much as i should have. also, we noticed that the thicker the glow glass the more it glows. the smaller dots don't seem to glow as much as the larger ones.

was lots of fun Sam!!! i don't see the pics here on the thread; ill upload them to gp tonight if its up.
