enough heat for boro?

[littlecrowartglass]

Ive work on HH for last 7 yrs or so but recently added a minor with oxycon and propane to my studio also ( eventually want natural gas hooked into studio but couldnt wait...lol ) . I can melt soft glass like BUTTER...LOL with this baby but my question is .... do i have enough heat to work boro? mmy oxycon is 9psi.... they told me i would be able to do small boro beads...whats your opinion? would i need two oxycons?

Hi Deb,You can do small boro work with your setup.Another oxycon would make it faster. I have 3 hooked up to my minor.

I've done small boro vortex pendants with loops!
It's slower, but it works. PLUS you don't boil as much as you would if you didn't know what you were doing on a big torch. ;)

:lol: Nikki has done SMALL boro on her hothead. (like, as in 1/2") ROFL. I've got a sweet little clear & corally pendant of 3 boro beads she made me....I'd think what you consider "small" is all relative ;)

HA! Since Nortel is partly based in Canada, I'm guessing it's a French accent! I think you should post your question about "must-have" boro colors in the boro room - more folks there who use it than here. But yes, I also do a little bit of (small) boro on a minor with an M-15. Slow, but it works.
