ornament help needed
I bought some of the Coe 90 glass tube, watched the making of an ornament on a hot head, then attempted to duplicate it on my Minor. I bought 24 tubes and have basically destroyed 8 so far..... I am getting the enlarged area nice and red, I am twirling the tube as I blow, but, have VERY lopsided ornaments, one side always gets larger than the other.....
Any suggestions????????

Have fun with the tubing Linda..... tubing can be very VERY frustrating and amazingly rewarding.

Neon tubing is roughly 90 COE - that is what I use.
