Question Red Max help!

[size="3"]
Is there anyone out there that might have any kind of instructions for this torch/ I bought this about 5 years ago and then developed a nerve disorder in my hands.
It has now seemed to alleviate itself and I would LOVE to give lampworking another shot, but I can't seem to find any info..
Thanks anyone.....

Have you tried calling Jean at Nortel? If you want, I can call her tomorrow and ask about an instruction sheet. Let me know. I don't have a sheet here, or else I would copy it for you.

Are you mainly interested in knowing what pressures to run with it? I would try running it at 10 psi for the fuel and 20 psi for the oxygen. Make sure that if you run a small flame where your candles are 1/4" long or shorter, your candles are all blue, with no tips. The longer your candles, the longer tips you can have on the ends.

Does your Red Max have the Minor Burner on top, or a pre-mix?

i just bought a mega max. it's new from nortel because it has the mega minor on top, instead of the regular minor. im looking forward to getting other input on this torch and will follow this thread!

There is not much to know.

1. Light the torch
2. Melt stuff
3. Profit
