Description
Melia 3 is made in our updated color base. A chrome free teal version of the Arke and Iris family. Different metallic effects are possible depending on the reduction techniques you use. Melia 3 retains its luster under clear encasement. Textured luster effects are possible with repeated exposure to a reduction flame. Opaque streaks can develop with extended annealing.
For all reduction techniques, cool the glass before reducing and keep the glass from overheating (turning orange).
For rainbow iridescent; use a large brush reduction flame, briefly pass the glass right through the candles, repeating until the colors develop.
For mirrored silver luster; rotate the bead further out in a reduction flame. Repeat until the desired luster is visible.
For textured satin; repeatedly pass the bead through the very farthest reaches of the reduction flame without letting the bead get hot again.
Our second quality rods are less than perfect in shape. They may be too large, too small, too short, chipped, twisted or have an inclusion. They have all passed both our compatibility test and our color test, just not our pretty rod test.
