Here is one of the beads I made, HOWEVER this one cracked, it is the third time and so i am giving up! They turn out soooo pretty but there is something in one of the glasses that i use in the bead that is making them crack. I never have beads crack and I have spent three hours for three cool beads and all three have cracked now!!! Oh well, what can I do? I am perplexed! Have a great night!

Hi there! I’m afraid you’ve got an incompatible glass in your mixture! But, you are right, it looks good! Di

Hey Diana, i know but i have now changed the culprit i think and still a crack. Not thermal either. I am using raku rod, psyche, opal yellow and precision 104 clear. i changed out the carmello because it was lauscha and still a crack. All of those glasses are compatible so i do not know what the deal is.

well, so how are the beads coming along?!? I hope that the bead maker has not “cracked” yet. You are a valuable asset to our universe!!
Seriously, I hope all is well. . . and do have a very happy Easter!
