Messy Tester's Feedback
-
Messy Color testers have described French Blue as everything from “not at all streaky” to “wonderfully streaky” depending on the size of the bead. The larger you work, the more likely you are to see streaks.
"Can go a bit swirly if both not heated enough, or heated too much, see bottle's body.” – Elasia

Testers reported that French Blue is somewhat reactive.
"I had some different shades show up in dots as I worked with a larger bicone.” – Dianna Trout
"French Blue gets the darker blue line on it around things like frit or other colors, which I like." – Evil Glass
-
French Blue is slightly more intense when etched.
“Etching seems to intensify the color.” – Tim Gottleber
“It is streaky and becomes more apparent when etched.” – Janice Laster

| "It's not the nastiest reduction I've seen - and I could even maybe see a use for blue-black beads. You don't seem to be able to get it to go away though - once it's there - it's there for good. These four beads were made from right to left, turning down the gas with each one." Read more at DragonJools blog. |
