wow. I bet you could melt and manipulate quartz glass fairly easily right?

@crackahcrackah Yes, solar has a very promising future. There's a new super material called graphene. It's sheets of carbon one atom thick that's going to be very useful in solar cell design and will be used in Lithium batteries

I have only just started to make a little money from my glass art. I have switched to Propane and Oxygen tanks because I can make larger pieces. Were I live 0xygen is fairly cheap but the boro is not. The HHO torch was fine for making beads and small pendants but even at 12 LPM it wasn't enough. I could use 4 or five cells like the one I have. The flash backs when you turn the torch off become a problem, any thing over 10 LPM. No flash back arrestor can stop that every time repeatedly.

I am mostly into making sculptural peaces. and it requires more heat than I could get from my HHO torch. If you are going to use HHO exclusively for glass work then you need to contact me at futurehho dt com and I will tell what all you need to do to make you system safe, Function, and reliable. There is no messing around when working with Hydroxy gas. I have more money into my hho system than my Oxy Prop sytem.

@PeteDog444 thanks alot for the reply man, yeah that HHO system stuff seems a little out of my level haha. Im going to go with the oxy prop system for sure. If you dont mind me asking were do you order your glass and equiptment from? Ive found a ton of sites but mabe you know one thats cheaper.... thanks alot

Youtube.com/user/H2OGLass is my other channel for glass only. I have a Night Burner Bullet Torch. It's really a great torch and is almost identical to a C C. I bought it used from a glass forum. If you are new and on a low budget like me then you will need to buy used and get the best you can from some one on the forums. They tend to help you out and give you a much better deal than new. I get my glass from Frantz Art glass, Arrow Springs, and Mountain Art Glass. I am in the NW so Frantz is loc

very cool, how does this compare to an oxy-acetylene torch for working with glass?

It works very well. The flame is very hot and melts Pyrex class easily. I have no experience with oxy and propane torches working glass.
