Question about Bullseye glass & Hothead

[glassymom]

Hi all
I was wondering how many people work with bullseye glass and a hot head?
I didn't know it was US made and I really like that. I work on a hot head tho so I was wondering if its uncommon to use bullseye with hothead or if lots do it. I'm moving and after that my daughter wants me to help her get started and I thought maybe it might be a good time to start switching over.........
Oh, and anyone have any pics too?? That would be really cool..,.....
AH, one more, who do you order your bullseye from?
Thanks SO much!!

I started out with only BE and was on a hot head for about 6 months or so. It does work slower than 104, but it is tolerable. It was to me anyway :)

I work it ok ok a by but I use 104 the most. When I use BE its usually sculptural work. I'll have to find the turtle pics...

Alternatively, you might consider Systems 96 rods. Also made in the USA and they melt easier then Bullseye.

When I was on HH, I used a lot of BE even for encased floral beads. It's slightly slower but not by much.

The only reason I upgraded to minor is I need faster torch since I only can torch once a week (before I torched 3-4 times a week sometimes more).
