dude how long will it take for me to learn how to do this iv wanted to for so long and how much is the stuff you need

[mapexlb]

damn, what kind of work do you do with the redmax? I got the biggest oxy tank airgas had and now I dont have any oxy problems, they fill it for 20$ and it last for like a week... I am probably not cranking my oxy enough.

A bushier flame Less oxy is hotter

than excess oxy

[RKGlass]

well kinda depends on a few things. I use K tanks. On a midrange...2-3 days of lots of work. On my redmax though I can easliy burn through a tank in a 1-1.5 days.

[mapexlb]

how long does your oxy tank last?

I'm a pathetic newbie. When your fully melting glass, how do you prevent it from falling down? And how do you prevent the rods from popping or flying? When I start heating rods, sometimes it pops, and breaks off. What am I doing wrong? sorry, I'm a real newbie.

[RKGlass]

well...its all about gravity and balance, in my opinion at least. It just takes a while to figure out when the glass is gonna move and use gravity to balance it. Practice. My rods rarely pop or break off because I dont put them in the flame right off the bat. I may get them close to the flame and it may look like its in the flame but I actually heat it up just outside the flame for a few seconds first.

Every time you pull molten glass up and away from the torch I cringe, thinking your like, sticking it in your mouth or getting it near your face or something.

[fullcollapse0155]

Are you from portland maine? or is it oregon???

[RKGlass]

Portland oregon, the capital of Microbrews. Portland oregon as in where Northstar and Glass Alchemy and Bullseye and Uroboros is located.

[RKGlass]

its a midrange by nortel...its a stepdown from a redmax or major and a stepup from a minor.
