Beads Uk

Hello
I want to start making lampwork beads, I started buying equipment, but I can not afford an annealing oven if I want coverage, but none seem webite of sales in the United Kingdom. So if anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.

Try http://www.paragonkilns.co.uk/shop.htm who supplies and oven with a ceramic fiber fabric that may be what you need. They also have vermiculite that you can dive into the cool beads.

may be able to point you in the right direction.

If understanding the right question, you need to delay the cooling? If so, you can try a bath of vermiculite used to use when reloading a Stellite alloy called to keep it softer for use in the manufacture of roller mills

Are you a member of the Company Pearl of Great Britain yet? You may be able to get links to useful sites, through them, and also links to other lampworkers.
