I do not live in the US and buy my supplies from the US. We have no local supplier so experimenting with variour brands is not so easy.
Can someone tell me what is their favourite glass that does not fade badly when pulled thin. I am trying to make small flowers for encasement and flameworked items for encasement to make ppw. I am working in soft glass coe 104 . I am thinking opaque is better than transparent.
Thanks
Franklin

Franklin,
Most of us here work in 33 Coe so we won't be a huge help. Lampworketc.com is mainly soft glass lampers and you will find a lot of good info on 104 Coe there. I do know that trautman makes great 104 color. Other than that I'm not much help
