@123stringcheese I describe it in my earlier videos, but it is called Hardi-backer(found at Lowes and H-D 3x5 sheets about $8. It is essentially cement board used in tile applications. It is what floor tile is cemented to inside houses. Being cement board, it is a fireproof system. Word of caution though. When used as a work surface, it breaks down, and gets dusty. The dust is harmful if breathed in. I def. wear a respirator and spray it down with water, when I clean my bench.
Cool, I am interested in blowing glass. I remembered seeing something on tv where a guy was blowing into a glass tube and the other end was in some kind of furnace. I guess it can be easier than that! I'd like to see more videos!
Good point. the type of glass blowing I do is called Lampworking. It is done behind the high powered torch you see in this video which stands on top of my workbech. I use a kiln but the torch replaces the furnace( which you have seen elsewhere.
I will be posting a video soon describing some of the differences of the two glassblowing arenas. Subcribe to my channel if you would like to learn all about it.
1750!!! Now I remember why I don't like GTT.

The Mirage has an inner flame and an outer flame. The inner flame is the Lynx.
(for those who are just learning about GTT torches.)
