Hi all, I'm a Newbie lampworking working on a Hot Head torch. I got some Devardi glass (the price is right!) and, like many here, had rod exploding (the semi-opaque pink was the most prone to this) problems.

I got better results when using Propane instead of Mapp/Pro to work the glass. I hope to continue this way as I love the semi-opaques which are the most explosive.
