BE white 0113 in screen melt?

I saw a post on a glass forum on Facebook about a pot melt cracking because it had BE opaque white 013 in it. Does anyone know if the regular white, 113, is also dicey at high temps? Also, the scraps of 113 I want to use (in a screen melt) have an irid coating. I'm guessing the irid will burn off at screen melt temps, but otherwise, would there be any problem using it? Thanks in advance for any advice!

The irid does not burn off. It is metallic and in my experience it floats to the top.

Regular white tends to be wimpy in melts but does not cause cracking.
