By the time you finish your marble you will have noticed that your marble mould is quite hot, plenty hot enough to tap the marble off the final punty into the mould, you will also notice that your torch can pivot to point down if you require it to, with a small center fire flame you simply fire polish the final punty mark off, I have made marbles for nearly 30 years and this is how I have always finished them. After fire polishing the punty mark I tip the marble out into a tray of talc which sits in the kiln, this ensures that the marble does not roll and so does not touch the other marbles, already in the tray
cheers, Bernard
