Hi Mary. I'm looking for a bit of insight. I'm new to glassworks and love the implosion/compressions but have some trouble with the finish. I don't know if I just don't have the right tools or if I'm doing something wrong with the lense or both. I have attached a pic or two. I think I'm getting the depth on the compression for the petals but I think the stamens are getting smoothed and I can't get a smooth rounded lense.

Is ther a special tool that is needed when you separate the rod to do the finishing work?

Thank you for any assistance and advice. Oh and I don't use boro yet...just soft glass
