Normally I fill my tank 2 or 3 times a year (depending on how much I'm torching). On an average I get in 10-12 hours a week. Tank PSI is between 7 and 10. I'm on a Bobcat.

I'll agree with Cynthia on the Devardi burgundy, and even better, it's one of the Devardi colors that does not bubble, crack or otherwise become "frit on a stick" for me. Very easy to work with.

I work it at about the same temperature as I do the...

When I do a cola soak (100% cola), I leave them in overnight.
