Van Gogh Caramel 104 coe silver glass - Sold per 115g (1/4 pound).  Rods are approx. 4-6mm in dia. and are fully 104 coe compatiable. Work Van Gogh Caramel VERY HOT until its transparent on the surface, then cool your bead and watch the dark brown or orange develop. If and when you encase will dictate the colours you will achieve from this glass. Encasing soon after it begins to get dark will give you blues and greens.  Let the browns really develop and you will get deeper magentas and blues.   After encasing pinks, rose and lavenders and creams can develop.  Van Gogh needs to be worked VERY HOT and make sure you keep in a netural flame.

Striking Guide for Precision 104 Colours:

Use adequate ventilation when using silver rich colours.

Use a neutral flame (shortest yellow candle) while constructing your bead.

Remove your piece from the flame until the glass loses it glow.

Adjust your flame to slightly reducing (longer yellow candles) by turning propane up or oxygen down.

Reheat your bead until the glass is glowing again.

Remove the bead from the flame and watch the colours develop. To further develop the colours repeat.

To clean off any effects reheat at the tip of an oxygen rich flame.
