[d2063614]

[Mr. Smiley]

It'll power it, but two is better. You can definitely melt glass with it. ;)

Absolutely it'll work.

96 is Spectrum. Bullseye is 90. Spectrum takes less heat and costs less for rods and sheet glass.

If you're thinking of doing some fusing and slumping, don't for a microsecond give any thought to using 104.

I do fusing and slumping with COE 90 AND I like to use COE 104, 90, and 33 for lampworking. Of course, I prefer to use rods of glass as opposed to strips of sheet glass for bead making, so it's not like I wouldn't be buying seperate glass for lampworking, anyway.

Don't feel that you have to limit yourself to one COE. Each COE has a lot to offer.

I wouldn't bother trying any 33 COE on any torch running just one concentrator. That's a guaranteed recipe for frustration.

yeah im not going to boro i decided id just live with the cracking cuz colour is expensive and i figure i should start on a small duable torch that if i mess it up its not that big of a deal :D

Hence the reason I want to try one of those torches...

Idealistic expectations take second place to economic practicality?
