Great tip! I love their colors, but got tired of waiting on it to warm up! I'm running a Mega Minor turned down to absolutely a "matchstick" size flame and still having problems. I love their colors!
Anyway, thanks again, I'm going to go make some beads with it!!

As far as abuse--the glass is quite abuse worthy once you get it on the mandrel! It's stood up to everything I've thrown at it & I'm not real nice to my glass....'cause I'm still nowhere *near* practiced with what I'm doin'  |
