Messy Tester's Feedback
-
Butter Pecan is an excellent neutral base color.
“Butter Pecan is good as a replacement for ivory if you don't want dark lines with reactive colors.” – Chris Molter
“I used it with several 96 frits, got less reaction than I get with ivory.” – Evil Glass
“This color is fairly nondescript, it is somewhat of an ivory, somewhat of a tan, it doesn't react with anything I used with it, so it isn't an exciting color. Some of the darker colors, like Bordello seem to "sink" into it, as if it were softer. That blurs the interface between the two colors. ” – Tim Gottleber
"This seems to be a nice glass to work with, as it gives a different shade to the 'ivory' category for me. It does have the streakiness of the ivories, so would work well with something you didn’t want an antiqued look too. I was hoping the finished glass would have the pearl look that the rod has, but was not able to achieve this.” – Jan Whitesel-Keeton

Although Butter Pecan is, in general, a non reactive glass, some Messy Color testers reported occasional reactions.
“Butter Pecan’s reaction with Celadon is one of my favorites of this glass line. I make a lot of floral beads and use this reaction to add interest to my beads. I also love how this glass can be used as an alternate to white . . . a bit warmer so it makes a great background color.” – Gail Witt

| “I tested Butter Pecan with Tuxedo on the left and intense black on the right to see which, if either, would web and what would happen. Tuxedo and Butter Pecan are about the same degree of softness when melted, so each pretty much kept to itself. Intense black stayed crisp on the Butter Pecan, but webbed the dots of Butter Pecan on top like crazy.” Read more at Carol Tannahill’s blog. |
"This is a Ginger base on the left and a Butter Pecan base on the right, with dots, Butter Pecan on the left and Ginger on the right. When hot - it is really difficult to tell them apart, but once melted, they are quite distinctive." Read more at DragonJools blog. |

| "The reaction with silver foil was amazing! The reaction with the silver led me to many different colors the longer my dragon was in the flame. I can't wait to try other Messy Colors with silver, as these colors are much different than I have found with any other glass I have used before."

“I found the Butter Pecan a nice substitute for light ivory. I made a set of pressed spree shaped beads with Raku Thunder frit and they turned out lovely. I was able to etch it, it marvers well, and was not shocky."
– Janice Laster
