Hiya!
I'm so glad to have found this forum! I'm hoping you can help me to get started with making lampwork beads.
I have some questions which I'd be very grateful if you could answer for me!
1. I really cannot buy a kiln right now so how do i anneal my beads? i'm looking to do it with the torch but need to know how to do this!! i found annealing granules on a site - what are they?
2. what's the best glass to start with? would rauchenbach (sp?) be ok?
3. what are the main things i need to get going? obviously torch, gas, mandrels and glass but what else?
Sorry to ask so many stupid questions but I haven't bought a book yet!
Thanks in advance for answers! Sure i'll have more questions to ask though.
