    TAG did have some Slyme odds last time I ordered from them. I have since used most of what I bought and havent had any problems with it. Great color.

    They custom make it, you just have to buy the entire 25# batch they make. It'd be around $800-$900 depending on what color TAG makes in tubing for the batch and each batches weight varies.

    I saw some chunks of tubing in the odds bin when I was down at GlassCraft this spring, looked intense! I think they had the odd tubing sections for $70 a lb.

    i bought a lb of kiwi slyme from glasscraft. it was straight gak. the tube was very round, 1lb was about 14 inches longx7mm thick at least 2.5 mm of clear on the inside. if this were a striking color that i would use for blowins i might be upset at paying 100$/lb for so much clear. since i used it all pretty thick anyways, the green was awesome and you couldnt tell how much clear was in there.

    What is the difference between the "kiwi slyme" and "slyme"? I've seen the guy on eBay also selling Slyme 2 and Slyme 3. The TAG manual seems to hint that Kiwi Slyme and Slyme are one in the same, but I've only pound of experience with it........

    Thanks!

    Different parts of the crucible pull result in varying batches of slyme. In an effort to provide consistency to retailers, they are getting it dialed in to a constant color.

    Jenny called the color I like Sliwi. It's thick but will get transparent if you rage it.

    As far as I know, the numbered slymes are only from the first run ever.

    "slyme" is much more transparent and when it strikes it reminds me of silver fuming its a light blue haze the kiwi slyme is much more opaque bright green. like aymie said you can rage it hard and get it transparent and then it strikes back i love the colors it gets.
