Uro clear 90 discontinued?

[Lani McGregor]

So, when it finally has been confirmed Uroboros is making these colors for the Artista line, maybe Mr. Ward would be so kind telling us, their customers, how this tests are done and by whom?

Annemarie,

Obviously Uro must be testing these glasses at their factory. It would be INSANE for them to make glass and NOT test it, then send it off to Germany for testing. What happens if it fails the test there? What does Schott do with the glass that is incompatible?

But the Big Question that remains: what is "The Test"?

Maybe Brian can get an answer from UK Schott - somewhere in the world, there must be some straight answers.

Thanks well I havent told all but just a flavour 4 my Global Fans

Anyway back 2 Uroboros ...............................

This is official from UK Schott office

I got a phone call today Jack Cutler - Schott UK

I asked him directly that we as global fuzers were a little concerned about the compatability n where Artista was manufactured

Anyway here is the uneditted offical line

I would add the following

That the name Desag has been dropped now called only SCHOTT AG

Also that Miagra (was GNA in U.S.A.) - now ceased manufacture due to confusions with Artista

Hi Brian. Further to your recent mail and our telecon I am pleased to
confirm the following:
1) The rolled glasses in the Artista range are specially manufactured by
Uroboros and supplied to SCHOTT AG in Germany who then distribute them
under the name of SCHOTT Artista Glass. These are not part of the standard
Uroboros range and are produced and checked for fusing compatibility with
the other glasses in the Artista range which are made on the drawn glass
process by SCHOTT itself.
2) Manufacture of SCHOTT's Magira range ceased several years ago.
3) Samples and literature will be sent to you immediately.

Please use this information to update the bulletin board as you think
necessary.
Kind Regards
Jack Cutler
