How-2-Blow-in

i started playing w/ these recently they're really quick and great for layering colors to create a 2 tone effect. i still get some air bubbles here or there in a tube, but i'm still working the kinks out.
i've done a cupple diff. colors inside the tranparent green tube that look really nice . the pix that were taken here are some cobalt tubing being blown into clear to tnin in out so you can see the yellow i will blow into it after ( not in pix ).
thanx 4 check -n this out i hope ya have some fun w/ it. also if ya figure out any slick tricks with this sh!t don't be a-scerd 2 let me know ya know.

cool
I've done many of these but I've never used the blow hose. I totally see how it would be so much easier that way. I should use the hose more but I can never find it in the shop...

yo heres one thing i do with these
im no master but i do have a suggestion abouts air bubbles.first of all try to make it as snug of a fit as possible before you heat and seal'em together. and if i do have a bubble i heat the area with the bubble and use a reamer to force the buble out. just tryin to help:)

cool technique thanx
i was messin with it alittle bit, then i put half a white borostick on the end of some 9.5 and then proceeded to draw on squigglies n shit then condensed it down into a ball then blew this glob of color out to make a more interesting point of color to blow into my 44. I usually just encase my color with clear before i condense it and blow it out, however your ttechnique ensures a far more consistent encasement. You've probly done the same thing already but I was feelin special...imma 7 month rookie with a fuckin severe torch habit.
