I preheat my rods and start out way at the top the the flame and slowly bring them down into the working area. Last night I had an instant frit moment of my own except it wasn't Devardi glass, it was opal yellow that goes for $1.85 a rod. Half of the rod shattered away in my hand before I could say, what the? It scared the hell out of me, then I just got pissed.
I trained myself early on to point the rods I have in the flame, down at the table, if something pops, no harm done. Although one day my husband happened to walk through the door and just missed getting zapped!!!
