Wow, crushing the leftover glass never even occurred to me. I'll do that. I think I might get a hothead before graduating to a minor. I'm a little worried about the cost of the gas on the latter. But the hothead might last me for a little while. I have noticed the lighter of the fireworks head acting funny a few times. Do you guys all have kilns to let your beads cool? I use the fiber blankets but I am noticing shrinking pattern on the surface after cooling. Not pretty and when I try to reheat in the hopes of smoothing out the ripples the beads blow up. Not unexpected really.
