Does anyone else think its strange that he waits untill the end of making the cup to cut in the jack line?

@tysauce1986 ya it helps maintain gather heat in the ribs aswell so it doesnt all melt togethor

@tysauce1986 thats how you make a reticello cup, you can't neck it in until you have a sealed bubble that's been fully twisted. It's also much easier to put a neck in a reticello cup because its already quite thin because you don't have a thick moyle the way you would on a regular piece.

later jack line can give stability for marvering, also can prevent a thin spot from blowing out on jack line, twisting and precarious fold back on reheats..practice is the best teacher...janusz should wash his hair more...wayne
