I have been working with glass for a little over a year now, and I am beginning to learn how to make mini tubes. I am using Lenz ground joints right now with my work, and I am running into issues with seals on my tubes. When I make my tubes with a fixed downstem, there seems be a lot of stress I can't work out of the seal.
I am curious if anyone has any tips, tricks, or techniques with these seals, or advice on ways to clean up these seals.
Thanks in advance!
