They're made up of redundant test batches, odd lots of production colors and other strange experiments we might be trying. We've sold them at various weights and prices over the years and currently, they're 5 pounds of glass for $175. They - [Garage Sale Boxes, how do you get one?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/garage-sale-boxes-how-do-you-get-one/) - Garage Sale Boxes are extremely popular and every time we've tried to announce them, it's crashed our website even after building a bigger better website! So, they are listed for sale on the website without any comment about once a month. They are only in the Bargains category and do not appear on the home - [Is there lead in your glass?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/is-there-lead-in-your-glass/) - We do not use lead in any of our glass compositions, and have recently had analysis done to test our colors for lead. All of our colors have practically zero lead content, except Gaia, which has slightly more than the amount that qualifies as "lead free", but still only a tiny fraction of the amount - [What's a free rod of orphan glass?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/whats-a-free-rod-of-orphan-glass/) - Orphan glass was either separated from the rest of its batch and we no longer know where it belongs or there was too little quantity of it to make a product. You can take some home by checking the box in your order. - [Do I need ventilation?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/do-i-need-ventilation/) - We make a strong effort to avoid toxic materials when formulating our glass colors. We do not use Lead, Arsenic, Antimony, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Selenium, or Uranium in our glass batch. All glass is colored with metal oxides, and some batch ingredients are volatilized when the glass is superheated. I would strongly recommend using adequate - [How did you make your encased murrini samples?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/how-did-you-make-your-encased-murrini-samples/) - Those murrini samples are cabs/marbles. I get an 8-10mm gather of Aether, allow it to cool some, heat the spot where I am going to put the chip, while preheating the chip out past the end of the flame (using tweezers). Then apply the chip and adjust with tweezers. Then out to the end of - [I mixed up my rods without labels. How can I tell them apart?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/i-mixed-up-my-rods-without-labels-how-can-i-tell-them-apart/) - Most of our colors have distinctive tonalities that make cold identification easy, but a few are similar enough to require a closer look, or a non-destructive flame test to determine. Our reduction colors have a more consistent rod tonality throughout a pot of glass than our striking colors do. Because the glass is striking as - [I encased my bead with Aether, and the luster turned green. What's up with that?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/i-encased-my-bead-with-aether-and-the-luster-turned-green-whats-up-with-that/) - Aether does contain certain chemical components that can react with metallic silver and cause a reaction. These chemicals also keep Aether remarkably free of seeds, and help to preserve the metallic sheen of the encased silver. The reaction often appears as a yellow/green tint. Working the encased bead hot often increases this effect. If you - [What annealing schedule do you suggest?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/what-annealing-schedule-do-you-suggest/) - The annealing range that I work with has a very broad range, from 900F to 1000F. Higher annealing temperatures can cause surface luster oxidation (burn-off) in reduction colors, and color shift (over-striking) in striking colors. Annealing is a time/temperature relationship. Typically, the lower the temperature, the longer the soak time. Most small glass objects have - [What clear do you recommend?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/what-clear-do-you-recommend/) - We recommend using Zephyr, Aether, Effetre 004, or Vetrofond 004 for encasing. Here are a few links that refer to some reported problems using certain clears.

Your beads will still be annealed. 2.) decrease the time at annealing temperature. 3.) Place a small ceramic or stainless steel container in the corner of your kiln. Fill partway with activated charcoal from an - [How does striking work?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/how-does-striking-work/) - Silver glass strikes due to silver crystal growth. When the glass is worked hot, the silver crystals dissolve, yielding a clear glass. When the glass is reheated, crystals form inside the glass. These crystal lengths grow to the same size as various wavelengths of light. The color sequence of lengthening crystals is as follows: clear, - [Are there any tips or tricks to reducing?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/are-there-any-tips-or-tricks-to-reducing/) - From descriptions sent in from various lampworkers I would suggest the following troubleshooting approaches: 1.) If your glass looks brown/gray/tan and you have not yet attempted to reduce it, you may need to turn up your oxygen, or turn down your propane. A flame that causes a metallic luster is not a “neutral flame”. 2.) - [What other glass manufacturers can I use your glass with?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/what-other-glass-manufacturers-can-i-use-your-glass-with/) - Theoretically, our glass should be compatible with Effetre, Vetrofond, CiM, and other 104 glasses. Due to the variations between each color from each manufacturer, we cannot guarantee compatibility with every “104” glass on the market. - [What COE are you?](https://doublehelixglassworks.com/ufaqs/what-coe-are-you/) - We are tested compatible with Effetre clear (product #004) since it is the largest volume “104” soft glass in production at this time. We use Polarimetric strain testing to ensure that there is minimal strain between our colors and Effetre clear. Polarimetry gives us specific data regarding strain in psi between two fused samples.
