Silver Reactions

Just another test of silver reactions.

This is a base of Effetre clear. Encased in Double Helix Pysche, reduced, and then encased again on the left with CiM Flax, and on the right with Uroboros Clear.

Pretty cool range of colours, eh? The Flax has reacted with the silver in the Psyche and gone deep Root beer. The Uro clear has created an iridescence of blue and green over the Psyche.

Very cool.

Uroboros 104 Clear

Uroroboros - I know them principally for their System 98 glass - 98 CoE.

However, they also make a 104 CoE clear.

So - let's give it a whirl.

Wow. This might be my new favorite clear.

I did nothing to the rods before using - just wiped off with windex and a paper towel. These came out pretty nice! 

 It is a very soft - almost soupy - clear - not a stiff clear. However - for encasing 3D stuff - a nice sloppy clear is great - gets into placed better.

This is a base of Uroboros clear, rolled in silver foil, and encased. You can see I got a bit of yellow/gold from being a little hot, but over all, I manage to keep the silver largely, silver.

With the Effetre clear, I might as well be using gold foil - it will all change colour.


For sure, more experimenting is in order, and I do still love Zephyr - but this is one sexy clear glass!
