I sorry I posted pix and have not returned with a tut. I use the lollypop recipe with a nortel minor/redmax.
1. melt a white lump and squish with flat mashers.
2. flatten round edges of lollypop so you are left with a square pop.
3. case tansparent aquamarine on one side of the pop.
4. case opaque yellow ocher and orange on other side of pop.
5. put extra dence stringer of black on thin seam right and left
deliniating the orange and blue.
6. case in clear. you now have a thick lollypop put extra clear on the ends
with no black stringer. These are the ends you are attaching your (punty) handles.
I use a uncoated thick mandrel.
7. now case the flat sides of the lollypop with enough clear to create a cylinder.
case carefully so as to trap as few bubbles as possible.
8 attach punty on opposite side of lump then heat and pull.
