preheat in kiln and add a little more..
|
lay some nice thick lines..i let it fall on the tubing...
|
|
after a few line s or so.. its good to reheat..((heat management is key here}}
|
after all lines are on.. melt them in smooth..marving with your paddle..just remember what your gonna sleeve this with and try for that diameter.these sizes work great together
|
while hot..encase color with 60 mill sleeve
|
|
after encaseing..you will start the melting process..start heating from the left to the right..heat a section piss hot and marv the air out..your looking for a nice smooth color to clear look...you will repeat this until all bubbles are out..
|
now..i heat this mass up piss hot and roll it on my graphite a few time just to ensure roundness
|
after that..it is time for the meltdown.... heat it up evenly & piss hot...just remember you want it to pull evenly too. so use your brain!
|
|
piss hot folks..
|
a nice smooth flowing pull..not to fast and not to slow...
|
you will figure out the pull rate depending on size of tubing you prefer
|
|
thats about as far as i can go here...i cut it off at the end &..set it in the kiln and pull it out later too..
|
there is also a huge nub in the kiln..
|
butter
|
|
this is the most consistent and the nicest to work..--i think__--so i hope you can get something here...cheers..
